Description:
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]

Description:
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.
