** GHang your head, Tom CDooley, CHang your head and Gcry;

** DYou killed poor Laurie GFoster, And you Cknow you're bound to Gdie.

GYou left her by the Croadside CWhere you begged to be Gexcused;

DYou left her by the rGoadside, Then you Chid her clothes and Gshoes.

*(Chorus)*

GYou took her on the Chillside CFor to make her your Gwife;

DYou took her on the Ghillside, And tChere you took her Glife.

GYou dug the grave fCour feet long CAnd you dug it three feet Gdeep;

DYou rolled the cold clay Gover her CAnd tromped it with your Gfeet.

*(Chorus)*

G"Trouble, oh it's Ctrouble A-rolClin' through my breasGt;

DAs long as I'm a-Glivin', boys, They Cain't a-gonna let me Grest.

GI know they're gonna Chang me, TComorrow I'll be Gdead,

DThough I never even hGarmed a hair COn poor little Laurie's Ghead."

*(Chorus)*

G"In this world and Cone more C Then reckon where I'Gll be;

DIf is wasn't for Sheriff GGrayson, IC'd be in TenneGsee.

GYou can take down my olCd violin ACnd play it all you Gplease.

DFor at this time toGmorrow, boys, It'll Cbe of no use to Gme."

*(Chorus)*

G"At this time to-Cmorrow C Where do you reckon I'Gll be?

DAway down yonder in the Gholler HCangin' on a white oak Gtree.

*(Chorus)*
