Tom Dooley

Chi mai sei tu, Tom Dooley,
che i cuori fai tremar?
Dove sei tu, Tom Dooley?
Nessuno mai lo saprà.

Sui monti e le colline
raccontano di te,
le bimbe più carine
nei sogni parlano a te.

Chi mai se tu, Tom Dooley?
Favola o verità?
Come sei tu, Tom Dooley,
nessuno mai llo saprà.

I met him on the mountain
and there I took his life
met him on the mountain
and stabled him with my knife.

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.

Reckon this time tomorrow
reckon where I'll be
if it hadn't been for Grayson
I'd been in Tennessee.
