. Marty Robbins - They're Hanging Me Tonight (Audio) Songtext
von Marty Robbins

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
