Lyrics : Lowe, Wolfe
Music : Wolpert/Low
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
FloAlone 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
