Marty Robbins recorded it, but he didn't write it. THEY'RE HANGING ME TONIGHT was written by Jimmy Low and Art Wolpert (according to The BMI Repertoire).

Here they are, from this site. They don't give accreditation, just who performed it. (Not sure if Marty wrote this one or not).

They're hangin me tonight    4/4       Marty Robbins

(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 (C)tonight

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
