[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Met her on the mountain
There I took her life
Met her on the mountain
And stabbed her with my knife

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
This time tomorrow
I reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
And swinging from a big pine tree

[Chorus]
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you'rе bound to die

[Verse 2]
This time tomorrow
Reckon whеre I'll be
If it hadn't had been Fort Felton
I'd've been in Nashville, Tennessee

[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Come on now, hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Well now, hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down
