| 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… |
