Tom Dooley - Macabre

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

There I took her life;

I killed her on the mountain

Stabbed 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

They’ll be hanging me;

If it wasn’t for sheriff Grayson

I’d 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;

Down in some lonesome valley

Hangin' from 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

Poor boy, you’re bound to die…
