They're Hanging me Tonight lyrics

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 are hanging me, 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 are hanging me tonight,

they're hanging me tonight.
