The Tom Dooley Song

There was a man named Tom Dooley

Whose story still remains

A restless heart upon the hills

And sorrow in his veins

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and sigh

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Troubled soul, don't ask me why

I met her on the mountain

Beneath the autumn sky

Met her on the mountain

Now I must say goodbye

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and sigh

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Troubled soul, don't ask me why

This time tomorrow

I wonder where I'll be

If fate had not turned colder

I'd still be running free

This time tomorrow

Wherever I may roam

Down some lonesome valley

Far away from home

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and sigh

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Let the restless winds reply
