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 |
