When I hear the rain a coming 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 stole her heart
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 hangin me tonight
They're hangin me tonight
That night he came and took my Flo
And headed in to town
I knew I'd have 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 nothing man
That good for nothing man
(Chorus)
I think about the thing I've done
I know it wasn't right
They'll bury Flo tomorrow but
They're hangin me tonight
They're hangin me tonight
