I met her on the mountain
G7
And there I took her life
Met her on the mountain
C
Stabbed her with my knife
C
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
G7
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
C
Poor boy your bound to die
This time tomorrow
G7
Reckon where I’d be
Hadn’t been for Grayson
C
I’d been in Tennessee
C
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
G7
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
C
Poor boy your bound to die
This time tomorrow
G7
Reckon where I’ll be
Down in some lonesome valley
C
Hanging from a white oak tree
C
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
G7
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
C
Poor boy your bound to die
C
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
G7
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Poor boy your bound to die
