Lyrics Tom Dooley - Macabre

Tom Dooley

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;
I killed 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
They’ll be hanging me;
If it wasn’t for sheriff Grayson
I’d 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
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
Poor boy, you’re bound to die…
