Tom Dooley |
| Throughout history |
| There’ve been many songs written about the eternal triangle |
| This next one tells the story of a Mr Grayson, a beautiful woman |
| And a condemned man named Tom Dooley… |
| When the sun rises tomorrow, Tom Dooley… must hang… |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Hang down your head and cry |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Poor boy, you’re bound to die |
| I met her on the mountain |
| There I took her life |
| Met her on the mountain |
| Stabbed her with my knife |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Hang down your head and cry |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Poor boy, you’re bound to die |
| This time tomorrow |
| Reckon where I’ll be |
| Hadn’t a-been for Grayson |
| I’d a-been in Tennessee |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Hang down your head and cry |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Poor boy, you’re bound to die |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Hang down your head and cry |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Poor boy, you’re bound to die |
| This time tomorrow |
| Reckon where I’ll be |
| Down in some lonesome valley |
| Hangin' from a white oak tree |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Hang down your head and cry |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Poor boy, you’re bound to die |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Hang down your head and cry |
| Hang down your head, Tom Dooley |
| Poor boy, you’re bound to die |
| Poor boy, you’re bound to die |
| Poor boy you’re bound to die |
| Poor boy, you’re bound to die… |
