Lyrics of 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 cafe 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
