Tom Dooley

Lyrics

[Verse One] They said I met her on the mountain And there I took her life They said I met her on the mountain And stabbed her with my knife [Chorus] They told me, "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 Two] By this time tomorrow Reckon where I'll be Hadn't of been for Grayson I'd of been in Tennessee [Chorus] They told me, "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 Three] I know they're gonna hang me Tomorrow I'll be dead Though I never even harmed a hair on poor little Laurie's head [Chorus] They told me, "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" [Refrain] Poor boy, you're bound to die Poor boy, you're bound to die Poor boy, you're bound to die
