The Legend Of Tom Dooley

Performed by The Kingston Trio



Through out history

There have been many songs

Written about the eternal triangle

This next one tells the story of Mr. Grayson

A beautiful woman and a condemed man

Named Tom Dooley

When the sun rises tomorrow

Tom Dooley must hang



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

Met her on the mountain

Stabbed her with my knife



This time tomorrow, reckon where I'll be

Hadn't it been for Grayson

I'd been in Tennesse



This time tomorrow, reckon where I'll be

Down in some lonesome valley

Hanging on a white oak tree
