Marty Robbins - They're Hanging Me Tonight lyrics

rate me

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.
