[Chorus]
G C C G Hang your head, Tom Dooley, Hang your head and cry; D D C G You killed little Laurie Foster, And you know you're bound to die.
[Verse 1]
G C C G You left her by the roadside Where you begged to be excused; D D C G You left her by the roadside, Then you hid her clothes and shoes. G C C G You dug the grave four feet long And you dug it three feet deep; D D C G You rolled the cold clay over her And tromped it with your feet.
[Chorus]
G C C G Hang your head, Tom Dooley, Hang your head and cry; D D C G You killed little Laurie Foster, And you know you're bound to die.
[Verse 2]
G C C G At this time to-morrow Where do you reckon I'll be? D D C G Away down yonder in the holler Hangin' on a white oak tree. G C C G I know they're gonna hang me, Tomorrow I'll be dead, D D C G Though I never even harmed a hair On poor little Laurie's head.
[Chorus]
G C C G Hang your head, Tom Dooley, Hang your head and cry; D D C G You killed little Laurie Foster, And you know you're bound to die.
[Verse 3]
G C C G In this world and one more Then reckon where I'll be; D D C G If is wasn't for Sheriff Grayson, I'd be in Tennesee. G C C G I know they're gonna hang me, Tomorrow I'll be dead, D D C G Though I never even harmed a hair On poor little Laurie's head.
[Chorus]
G C C G Hang your head, Tom Dooley, Hang your head and cry; D D C G You killed little Laurie Foster, And you know you're bound to die.
[Verse 4]
G C C G You can take down my old violin And play it all you please D D C G At this time tomorrow It’ll be no use to me
[Chorus]
G C C G Hang your head, Tom Dooley, Hang your head and cry; D D C G You killed little Laurie Foster, And you know you're bound to die.
