Story behind the song
A juror on the Tom Dooley trial questions his own sense of morality.
Lyrics
I can’t tell you why my name was drawn
But it’s my duty to cast the first stone
In my heart I know that what you did was wrong
Tom Dula you will reap just what you’ve sewn
They say you killed Laura Foster up on the hill
And you buried her body in the clay
Was it for love, revenge or just for the thrill?
What made you stab her that day?
Chorus
Hang down, hang down your head and cry.
Poor boy you’re bound to die
Hang down. Lord knows you’re guilty as sin
But then again, so am I
Instrumental
Verse 3
If people saw inside me and some of the things I do
They wouldn’t want me here
While I haven’t gone to the same extremes as you
That’s a yet, that’s what I fear
Verse 4
When I die and I go on up to heavens gate
I wonder if St Peter’s gonna let me in
When he gets out the book and he takes a good look
And he says “Boy, you’re guilty as sin”
Chorus x 2
