Tom Dooley  The Kingston Trio

(Spoken intro)
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

*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

I met her on the mountain
There I took her life
Met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife (*)

This time tomorrow reckon where I'll be
Hadn't been for Grayson
I'd been in Tennessee (well now, boy) (*)

This time tomorrow reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hanging from a white oak tree (*)
湯姆杜利  金士頓三重唱

(口白)
歷史上有很多歌曲
內容是和三角關係有關
接下來這首歌講的是葛里森先生、一位美女
和一位名叫湯姆杜利的囚犯的故事
當明天太陽昇起
湯姆杜利就要被吊死

垂下你的頭,湯姆杜利
垂下頭來,哭吧!
垂下你的頭,湯姆杜利
可憐的孩子,你死定了

我和她在山上見面
在那兒,我了結了她的性命
我和她在山上見面
用刀子刺死了她

明天此時,我不知道會在哪裡?
要不是去找葛里森先生
我現在會是在田納西州

明天此時,我不知道會在哪裡?
在某個寂寞的山谷中
吊在一棵白色的橡樹上
