[Intro:]
|
Throughout history
|
There've been many songs written about the eternal triangle
|
This next one tells the story of a Mr 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
|
|
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
|
|
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...
