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

I met her on the mountain
There I took her life
I met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with a knife

(chorus)
This time tomorrow 
Reckon where I'll be
If it hadn't of been for Sherrif Grayson
I'd have been in Tennessee

(chorus)

This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome canyon
Hanging from a wide oak tree

(chorus)
