Intro: F Dm A# F
F Dm
When I hear the rain a comin' down
F Dm
it makes me sad and blue
F Dm
Was on a rainy night like this
A# F
that Flo said we were through.
F Dm
I told her how I loved her,
F Dm
and I begged her not to go
F Dm
But another man had changed her mind
A# F
so I said goodbye to Flo.
F Dm
Alone within my cell tonight
F Dm
my heart is filled with fear
F Dm
The only sound within the room
A# F
is the falling of each tear.
F Dm
I think about the thing I've done,
F Dm
I know it wasn't right
F Dm A# F
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight,
A# F
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.
