Tom Dooley, Pt. 1

Tom Dooley, Pt. 1 - Lonnie Donegan and his Skiffle Group

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

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

If it hadn't of been for Sherrif Grayson

I'd have been in Tennessee

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 canyon

Hanging from a wide 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
