Tom Dooley

there have been many songs

written about the eternal triangle

this next one tells the history

of Mr.Grayson a beautiful woman

and a condermed 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

stabed 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 it been for Grayson

I'd been in Tennesse

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

hanging on a whited oke 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
