There are stories and many songs, written about the trouble trangle.
This next one tells the story of a mrs. Greeson, a beautiful woman,
and a condemned man, named Tom Dooley.
When the sun rises tomorrow, Tom Dooley has be hanged...
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
Refrein
This time tomorrow,
reckon where I’ll be
If it had n't been for Greeson,
I had been of Tennessee
Refrein
This time tomorrow,
reckon where I’ll be
In some lonesome valley
A hangin on a white oak tree
