lyrics version 1
So here's a song we sang at the folk music hootenanny [Spoken]
Well 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
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (Now boy)
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die
Well I met her on a mountain
I said I, I wanna be your man
I met her on a mountain
I said I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Down in city of 'Frisco / Down in some lonesome [Laughs]
Running to your home
That's where we, that's where we grew up, 'Frisco. But we don't let anybody call it 'Frisco. It has to be called San Francisco, unless you live there and you have privileges. Okay, so uh [Spoken]
She, she told me that she loved me
She said that she'd be true
When I ran into her in 'Frisco
She said that she loved you
She loves you yeah yeah yeah
She loves you yeah yeah yeah
She loves you yeah yeah yeah
Ye-eh
Well 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
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (Now boy)
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die
Well I met her on a mountain
I said I, I wanna be your man
I met her on a mountain
I said I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
