Throughout history
there have been many songs written about the eternal triangle.
This next one tells
the story of a Mr. Grayson, a beautiful woman and a condemned man named Tom
Dooley.
When the sun rises
tomorrow, Tom Dooley must hang.
G
Hang down your head,
Tom Dooley,
D
hang down your head
and cry,
hang down your head,
Tom Dooley,
D7 G
poor boy, you`re
bound to die.
G D
1. I met her on the
mountain, there I took her life,
D7 G
I met her on the mountain, stabbed her
with my knife.
+ CHORUS
G D
2. This time tomorrow, reckon where I`ll be,
D7 G
if it hadn`t been for Grayson, I`d be in
Tennessee.
+ CHORUS
G D
3. This time toworrow, reckon where I`ll be,
D7 G
in some lonely valley, hanging from a white oak-tree.+
CHORUS
(Kingston
Trio)
