Hang down your head Tom Dooley, 
                        B7 
Hang down your head and cry, 
 
Hang down your head Tom Dooley, 
                       E 
Poor boy, your bound to die, 
 
E 
I met her on the mountain, 
                     B7 
and there I took her life, 
 
Met her on the mountain, 
                    E 
stabbed her with my knife, 
 
E 
Hang down your head Tom Dooley, 
                       B7 
Hang down your head and cry, 
 
Hang down your head Tom Dooley, 
                        E 
Poor boy, your bound to die, 
 
E 
This time tomorrow, 
                 B7 
reckon' where I'd be, 
                
Hadn't been for Grayson, 
                  E 
I'd been in Tennessee,

Hang down your head Tom Dooley,

Hang down your head and cry, 
 
Hang down your head Tom Dooley,

Poor boy, your bound to die, 
 
 
E 
This time tomorrow, 
                  B7 
reckon' where I'll be, 
 
Down in some lonesome valley, 
                        E 
hangin' from a wide oak tree, 
 
 
E

Poor boy, your bound to die,
