The Kingston Trio – Tom Dooley Lyrics

[Intro]
Throughout history, there have been many songs written about the eternal triangle. This next one tells the story of Mister Grayson, a beautiful woman and a condemned man named Tom Dooley. When the sun rises tomorrow, Tom Dooley must hang
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
I met her on the mountain
There I took her life
Met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I’ll be
Hadn’t-a been for Grayson
I’d-a been in Tennessee
Well now, boy
[Chorus]
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
Well now, boy
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
[Verse 3]
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I’ll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hangin’ from a white oak tree
[Chorus]
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
Well now, boy
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
[Outro]
Poor boy, you’re bound to die
Poor boy, you’re bound to die
Poor boy, you’re bound to die
