Tom Dooley
Art Paul Schlosser · Songs I Forgot That The Elephant Remembered
This ones called Tom Dooley
And it could be a protest
Or it could be an anti-protest about the electric chair.
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy you're bound to die
You killed poor Laurie Foster
You know it's not a lie
You killed poor Laurie Foster
Poor boy you're bound to die
You thought you'd get away with it
But you know you couldn't hide
You thought you'd get away with it
Poor boy you're bound to die
Thank You

You thought you'd get away with it
