They're Hanging Me Tonight

I hear the rain a coming down

Am

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 and

Am

I begged her not to go

But another man had stole her heart

So I said goodbye to Flo

Alone within my cell tonight

Am

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

Am

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

Am

And headed into town

I knew I'd have to find this man

And try to gun him down

As I walked by a dim cafe

Am

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

Am

And with a trembling hand

I took the life of pretty Flo

And that good for nothing man

That good for nothing man

I think about the thing I've done

Am

I know it wasn't right

They'll bury Flo tomorrow but

They're hangin me tonight

They're hangin me tonight
