Tom Dooley

"Tom Dooley" is an old folk song based on the 1866 murder of a woman named Laura Foster in Wilkes County, North Carolina. It is best known today because of a hit version recorded in 1958 by The Kingston Trio. It was selected as one of the Songs of the Century by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the National Endowment for the Arts, and Scholastic Inc. (Wikipedia).

Well done, as usual! I like your little addition, this time, the - I don't know what you musicians call it - Second voices in between stanzas?

Thanks for the comments Rick! It's a stylistic element that reminds me of the caller action in square dance music.
