Lyrics The Kingston Trio - Tom Dooley

Throughout history, there have been many songs written about the eternal triangle. This next one tells the story of a Mr. Grayson, a beautiful woman, and a condemned man named Tom Dooley. When the sun rises tomorrow, Tom Dooley must hang."

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
Met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife

Chorus
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't have been for Grayson
I'd have been in Tennessee

Chorus (x2)

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

Chorus (x2)

Poor boy you're bound to die
Poor boy you're bound to die
Poor boy you're bound to die
