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
Oh 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 I reckon where I'll be If it hadn't a been for Grayson I'd a been in Tennessee
So 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 I reckon where I'll be Down in some lonesome valley Hanging from a wide oak tree
Well 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 Oh poor boy you're bound to die
