Tom Dooley Lyrics


Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Poor boy, you're bound to die
I met her on the mountain
And there I took her life
Met her on the mountain
I stabbed her with my knife
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Poor boy, you're bound to die
This time tomorrow
I reckon where I'll be
Hadn't been for Grayson

I'd a-been in Tennessee
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Poor boy, you're bound to die
This time tomorrow
I reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hangin' from a white oak tree
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Poor boy, you're bound to die
I met her on the mountain
And there I took her life
Met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Poor boy, you're bound to die
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Poor boy, you're bound to die

A fiddler from the Tennessee-North Carolina border, G.B. Grayson was among the first to record several folk standards, including "Tom Dooley," "The Banks of the Ohio," and "Train 45." Born in 1888, he was blinded as an infant and became a musician. Many of his best recordings for Victor were made with Henry Whitter, a guitarist and harmonica player. Perhaps the longest-lasting (thanks to its revival in the '50s by the Kingston Trio), "Tom Dooley" was a song dear to Grayson's heart — his grand uncle, a North Carolina sheriff.
