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.

This time to-morrow,
Reckon where I'll be.
Had--n't a----been for Grayson,
I'd a---been in Ten---nes-see.
CHORUS (2X after verse 2 & 3
