| The Kingston Trio - Tom Dooley (1958 Capitol records) Lyrics |
 |
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]

In 1958, the then-unknown Kingston Trio
revolutionized popular music in America when
a radio DJ in Salt Lake City began playing a
single cut from the group's debut album over
and over and calling other jocks around the
country and getting them to do the same.
Popular demand for the song prompted a
reluctant Capitol Records to release the song
as a single; its sales quickly hit a million
units, shot up to two, and kept going.
The song, of course, was an old North
Carolina folk song, "Tom Dooley," the ballad
of Civil War veteran Thomas Dula, who was
hanged for a murder that many believe he did
not commit. The hit song was the direct
impetus that led to the boom in interest in
acoustic folk music, both traditional and
popularized, that swept the US in the late
50's through the mid 60s, leading in turn to
folk-rock and singer/songwriter waves that
later dominated the air waves.
This rendition by The Chilly Winds (from the
2006 Mountain Music Festival in Colorado)
attempts to capture the feel of the original
album cut by the Kingston Trio and was
presented in response to a request from the
audience by a young lady who was born much
too late to remember the original but was far
too fetching to ignore.
Bass accompaniment and additional vocals by
Rick Jarusiewisc.
The Chilly Winds debut CD Live In
Colorado,including enhanced digital audio of
our "Tom Dooley", is available by mail order
from
thechillywinds@sbcglobal.net
for $15.00 including S&H.
