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

and there i took her life

i met her on the mountain

and 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

if it hadn't been for grayson

i'd've 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.
