Hang your head, hang your head, Tom Dooley hang your head and cry
Killed poor Laura Foster, you know youre bound to die
Bury her on the hillside, make the people see
Put the coat over, tromp her with your feet
Hang your head Tom Dooley, hang your head and cry
Killed poor Laura Foster, dont you know your bound to die
Bury her on the hillside with other peoples lives
Hang your head Tom Dooley, hang your head and cry
Killed poor Laurea Foster, dont you know youre bound to die
First time I went courting, pretty brave of me
Just to sing from her old oak tree
Hang your mama with kindness blame it on this morning
