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 and stubbed her with my knife
|
Oh boys now hang down your head Tom Dooley...
|
|
This time tomorrow reckon where I'll be
|
Hadn't've been for that Greysome I'd've been in Tennessee
|
Oh boys now hang down your head Tom Dooley...
|
[ harmonica ]
|
This time tomorrow reckon where I'll be
|
Down in some lonesome valley a swinging from a wide oak tree
|
Oh boys now hang down your head Tom Dooley...
|
Hang down your head Tom Dooley...
