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
And there I took her life
I met her on the mountain
And 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
If it hadn't been for Grayson
I'd've 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
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
In some lonesome valley
A-hangin' on 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 and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you're bound to die
I met her on the mountain
And there I took her life
I met her on the mountain
And 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
If it hadn't been for Grayson
I'd've 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
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
In some lonesome valley
A-hangin' on 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
