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
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
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't a-been for Grayson
I'd a-been inTennessee

Let's all thank Vince Dooley for not naming his son Tom.
I, for one, love this! My career and life is music and have met the living Dillards (Darlins on the Andy Griffith show). The song is about a southern moonshiner so it goes right along with Rocky Top.
