((Through out history 
There have been many songs 
Written about the eternal triangle 
This next one tells the story of Mr. Grayson 
A beautiful woman and a condemed man 
Named Tom Dooley 
When the sun rises tomorrow 
Tom Dooley must hang)) 

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 
There I took her life 
Met her on the mountain 
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 
Hadn't it been for Grayson 
I'd been in Tennesse 

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 
Down in some lonesome valley 
Hanging from 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 

Poor boy, you're bound to die
