They're Hanging Me Tonight

Marty Robbins

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
I begged her not to go
But another man had stole her heart
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 hangin me  tonight
They're  hangin me tonight

That night he came and took my Flo
And headed into town
I knew I'd have to find this man
And try to gun him down

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 nothing  man
That good for nothing  man

I think about the thing I've done
I know it wasn't right
They'll bury Flo tomorrow but
They're hangin me  tonight
They're hangin me  tonight
