Tom Dooley

Tom Dooley (A Tribute to Llewyn Davis) - Frank Proffitt

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and cry

You killed poor Laurie Foster

For you're bound to die

I met her on the mountain

There I took her life

You took her on the hillside

Stabbed her with my knife

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and cry

You killed poor Laurie Foster

Poor boy you're bound to die

This time tomorrow

Reckon where I'll be

Away down yonder in the holler

Hanging on a white oak tree

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and cry

You killed poor Laurie Foster

Poor boy you're bound to die

This time tomorrow

Reckon where I'll be

Down in some lonesome valley

Hangin' from a white oak tree

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and cry

You killed poor Laurie Foster

Poor boy you're bound to die

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and cry

You killed poor Laurie Foster

Poor boy you're bound to die

You can take down my old violin

And play it all you please

For at this time tomorrow

It'll be of no use to me

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and cry

You killed poor Laurie Foster

Poor boy you're bound to die
