Tom Dula

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die

I met her on the mountain

And there I took her life

Met her on the mountain

I stabbed her with my knife

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die

This time tomorrow

I reckon where I'll be

Hadn't been for Grayson

I'd a-been in Tennessee

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die

This time tomorrow

I reckon where I'll be

Down in some lonesome valley

Hangin' from a white oak tree

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die

I met her on the mountain

And there I took her life

Met her on the mountain

Stabbed her with my knife

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die
