Tom Dooley

Throughout history
There've been many songs written about the eternal triangle
This next one tells the story of a Mrs 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
2x

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
etc. 2x
Poor boy, you're bound to die
3x
