I hear the rain a coming 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 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

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 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
