Artist/Band: Mel Tillis
Lyrics for Song: Tom Dooley
Lyrics for Album: Night Train to Memphis [Hilltop] [1974]



(John A. Lomax - Frank Warner)



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

And stubbed her with my knife.



Oh, boys now 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

Hadn't've been for that Greysome

I'd've been in Tennessee.



Oh, boys now 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.



--- Instrumental ---



This time tomorrow

Reckon where I'll be

Down in some lonesome valley

A swinging from a wide oak tree.



Oh, boys now 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.



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...
