They're Hanging Me Tonight

When I hear the rain a-comin' down, it makes me sad and blue Was on a rainy night like this, that Flo said we were through I told her how I loved her, and I begged her not to go But another man had changed her mind, so I said goodbye to Flo Alone within my cell tonight, my heart is filled with fear The only sound within the room, is the falling of each tear I think about the thing I've done, I know it wasn't right They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight They're hanging me tonight! That night he came and took my Flo, and headed in to town I knew I had to find this man, and try to gun him down As I walked by a dim café, and I looked through the door I saw my Flo with her new love and I couldn't stand no more I couldn't stand no more I took my pistol from my hip, and with a trembling hand I took the life of pretty Flo, and that good for nothin' man That good for nothin' man! I think about the thing I've done, I know it wasn't right They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight They're hanging me tonight
