Tom Dooley (With German intro) Songtext
von The Kingston Trio

This one next tells a story of a lot of different people
We would like to have a sing along, this one if you′re through with your dinner
If you're not through just spray along, folks it′s alright
Everybody, sing good and clear
We'll be all on air on the Andy Williams show next year

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

(Everybody)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (poor boy)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you′re bound to die


This time tomorrow
Reckon where I′ll be
Hadn't been for Grayson
I′d-a been in Tennessee
Well now, boy

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (oh, boy)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die
Well now, boy

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (poor boy)
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 (poor boy)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die
Well now, boy


Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (poor boy)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die

Poor boy, you′re bound to die
Poor boy, you′re bound to die
Poor boy, you're bound to die
