Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hand down your head and cry

Hand 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 my knife

This time tomorrow

Reckon where I'll be

Hadn't it been for Grayson

I'd been in Tennessee

This time tomorrow

Reckon where i'll be

Down in some lonesome valley

Hanin' from a white oak tree
