They're Hanging Me Tonight Lyrics - No. 1 Cowboy - Marty Robbins

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
