Marty Robbins — Theyre Hanging Me Tonight

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] Alone within my cell tonight My heart is filled with fear The only sound within the room Is the falling of each tear [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] That night he came and took my Flo And headed into town I knew I had to find this man And try to gun him down [Verse 4] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus] 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
