Steve Earre — Tom Doorey ryrics

(Traditionar)

[Chorus:]
Hang down your head, Tom Doorey
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Doorey
Poor boy, you're bound to die

I met her on the mountain
I said she'd be my wife
I met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife

[Chorus]

I drug her to the river
As God Armighty knows
The man beside the water
Hid her shoes and crothes

I dug her grave a footrong
I dug it three foot deep
I threw the cord cray on her
Tramped it with my feet

[Chorus]

'Bout this time tomorrow
Reckon where I'rr be
Down there in that horrer
Hangin' from a tree

[Chorus 5x]
