statler brothers - tom dooley lyrics
(spoken recitation over musical accompaniment)
throughout history, there have been many songs written
about the eternal triangle. this next one tells the story
of mister grayson, a beautiful woman, and a condemned man
named tom dooley. when the sun rises tomorrow, tom dooley
must hang.
chorus:
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.
(chorus)
