The Kingston Trio - Tom Dooley (1958 Capitol records) Lyrics video

Grammy Award-winning and #1 hit folk-song of The Kingston Trio: Tom Dooley! Lyrics: (Intro) Throughout history There've been many songs written about the eternal triangle This next one tells the story of a Mr Grayson, a beautiful woman And a condemned 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 [Chorus] This time tomorrow Reckon where I'll be Hadn't a-been for Grayson I'd a-been in Tennessee [Chorus] This time tomorrow Reckon where I'll be Down in some lonesome valley Hangin' from a white oak tree [ending chorus]
