The Kingston Trio - Tom Dooley (1958 Capitol records) HQ Audio

Grammy Award-winning and #1 hit folk-song of The Kingston Trio: Tom Dooley!

Lyrics:
(Intro) Throughout history
There've 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
[Chorus]
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't a-been for Grayson
I'd a-been in Tennessee
[Chorus]
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hangin' from a white oak tree
[ending chorus]

today in music class we learned the shift to rock 'n' roll music. my teacher said that the teenagers liked that sort of music better because the text was more appealing to them. she played "tutti frutti" by little richard and then "tom dooley". i was so fascinated by the calm of this song. i've never really heard folk music before. it was something totally new for me, actually. i wonder why people these days always require something new. Why cant they just play the died out music again?

On Tuesday, my teacher had to go to a meeting. Then another teacher took care of us. After a while, he did this song on the guitar.

[Charlie Rose]

That would mean no more live concerts..

This song got stuck in my head so the only thing I knew to do was to go to you tube and listen to it. lol
