Tom Dooley

[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
I 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
I reckon where I'll be
Hadn't been for Sheriff Jayson
I'd been in Tennessee

[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 3]
This time tomorrow
I 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

[Banjo Solo]

[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
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 (die, die)
