Eddy Arnold – Tom Dooley lyrics

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
And there I took her life
I met her on the mountain
And stubbed her with my knife.

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
If it hadn't been Fort Grason
I'd've been in Tennessee.

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
In some lonesome valley
A hangin' on a white oak tree.

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...
