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 Ive done, I know it wasnt right
Theyll bury Flo tomorrow, but theyre hanging me tonight
Theyre 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 caf, and I looked through the door
I saw my Flo with her new love and I couldnt stand no more
I couldnt 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 Ive done, I know it wasnt right
Theyll bury Flo tomorrow, but theyre hanging me tonight
Theyre hanging me tonight
