When I hear the rain a- comin' down,
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,
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,
They'll bury Flo tomorrow,
but they're hanging me tonight
They're hanging me tonight
That night he came and took my Flo,
I knew I had to find this man,
As I walked by a dim café,
and I looked through the door
I saw my Flo with her new love
and 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!
