Tom Dooley

[Intro:]
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...

[Chorus]

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.

2. This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't a-been for Grayson
I'd a-been in Tennessee.

[Chorus x2]

3. This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hangin' from a white oak tree.

[Chorus x2]

* Poor boy, you're bound to die
Poor boy you're bound to die
Poor boy, you're bound to die...
