Tom Dooley (Doc Watson version)
*(Chorus)*
** FHang your head, Tom FDooley, FHang your head and Fcry;
** GYou killed poor Laurie FFoster, And you know Fyou're bound to die. F
FYou left her by the Froadside Where you Fbegged to be excused; F
GYou left her by the rFoadside, Then you hiFd her clothes and shFoes.
*(Chorus)*
FYou took her on the Fhillside For to makFe her your wife; F
GYou took her on the Fhillside, And theFre you took her liFfe.
FYou dug the grave fFour feet long And youF dug it three feet deep; F
GYou rolled the cold clay Fover her And trFomped it with your feet. F
*(Chorus)*
F"Trouble, oh Fit's trouble A-rollinF' through my breast; F
GAs long as I'm a-Flivin', boys, They aFin't a-gonna let me rFest.
FI know they're gonna Fhang me, TomForrow I'll be deFad,
GThough I never even hFarmed a hair FOn poor little Laurie's Fhead."
*(Chorus)*
F"In this worldF and one moreF Then reckon where I'llF be;
GIf is wasn't for Sheriff FGrayson, I'd be Fin Tennesee. F
FYou can take down my olFd violin AFnd play it all you Fplease.
GFor at this time toFmorrow, boys, It'll be of nFo use to me.&quoFt;
*(Chorus)*
F"At this timFe to-morrow WheFre do you reckon I'll beF?
GAway down yonder in the Fholler HaFngin' on a white oak tFree.
