C I hear the rain a coming down
It makes me sad and Am blue
Was on a rainy night like this
That F Flo said we were C through
I told her how I loved and
I begged her not to Am go
But another man had stole her heart
So I F said goodbye to C Flo
Alone within my cell tonight
My heart is filled with Am fear
The only sound within the room
Is the F falling of each C tear
I think about the thing I've done
I know it wasn't Am right
They'll bury Flo tomorrow but
They're F hangin me C tonight
They're F hangin me Ctonight
That night he came and took my Flo
And headed in to Am town
I knew I'd have to find this man
And F try to gun him C down
As I walked by a dim cafe
And I looked through the Am door
I saw my Flo with her new love
And I F couldn't stand no C more,
I F couldn't stand no C more
I took my pistol from my hip
And with a trembling Am hand
I took the life of pretty Flo
And that F good for nothing C man
That F good for nothing C man
I think about the thing I've done
I know it wasn't Am right
They'll bury Flo tomorrow but
They're F hangin me C tonight
They're F hangin me C tonight
