They're Hanging Me Tonight 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 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.
