[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 stabbed her with my knife
This time tomorrow,
reckon where I'll be,
in some lonesome valley
a-hanging from a white oak tree
