Im a 70 year old Irish lady, can never stop living listening to this fabulous song, since i heard it on the old wireless when i came home from school, im an old lady now, but it never left me, thanks, poor Tom, and Laura, rip.

For some reason this song has stuck in my head for decades.

We sung this song in my elementary school. Yep…

I’ve always like that song too, all the old songs are the best,

I'm from Chennai, India, and I remember my late father (1942 - 2015) singing this! My dad was a huge cowboy and injun movie fan and a great music afficionado.

Dieser Song fiel mir plötzlich ein, ich habe ihn jahrelang vergessen. Er ist super

I was a child when I heard this song again and again. thanks for the old memories

Very well done. I remember when the song was number one.

when i knew that song is one of 100 best song in american history i came here listen to it.😊.Good music but sad end for tom duley😢.greeting from algiers.north africa.😊

My father was born in 1921 I was born in 1971 Growing up I remember sometimes my Dad would be singing the words to this song Today I was on KZfaq 3 / 16 / 19 I finally looked up the song and found this video It brought a tear to my eye I guess I just miss my father 😔

my dad sang this every morning shaving r.i.p dad

i come back to watch this every now and then, 9yrs and counting.

i sang this song as a young girl and it never left my head. Growing up, my brother (on the basis of the movie) told me that poor Tom had killed a stage coach because he hadn’t known about the war’s end. For the next 30 years thereafter i always sympathised. Then about 5 years ago found this song through youtube and researched thoroughly the history of Tom Dula. i’m still sympathetic and sad at his untimely end.

My sister was fourteen years older than me and she taught me this song. I can sing it word for word by memory. She learned it from our grandmother. I used to think it was just a silly rhyme she made up until a few years ago when I looked it up. I was very delighted to see a movie picture to go along with the words. This song means a lot to me

My Dad used to sing this song all the time 💙

As a kid I was always very saddened when my father sang this song. I didn't quite understand it but I never forgot it.

This song will always reminds me of my Dad. HE Used to go around the house singing parts of it. RIP Daddy Monk. Till I see you again.

My grandma loved this song not sure why unless it was more

The original folk song was written in 1868 as Tom Dula, The Kingston Trio's version was recorded in 1958. In 1959, the movie The Legend of Tom Dooley was released and featured the Kingston Trio's version in the soundtrack.

My type of music is rap. But when I first heard this song I just kept on listening to it. I first heard this in 2007, now it’s 2023……

So proud to have grown up with music like this. Can't beat it.

I don't know if it was just a weird teacher or a weird choir teacher, but this song was inside my head. I was just watching a TV show just now and this guy's name was Dooley, then the name Tom Dooley was an unlocked memory that brought me here

The best version of this song I've ever heard.

This has to be by far the best version of this song that I have ever heard. Thank you.

Thank you. Ever since our son was an infant, this is the only song that gets him to stop crying. 20 months old now. Still doing the trick. Thank you dear sirs for saving our sanity. --love, some sleepy parents.

I LOVE THIS SONG..I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A YOUNG GIRL THIS WAS PLAYED ON THE RADIO..I LOVED THE VOICE AND SONG..A WELL WRITTEN SONG ..YOU CANT REALLY BEAT THIS ERA OF MUSIC..I WISH MORE OF IT EVEN TODAY..ITS TRUE SONG..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is 9-6-2022 and im a special education teacher for individuals with intellectual disabilities and this is one of my students favorite song.. I play it for her each day during dismissal, i dont care for it but it put a smile on her face Love you Joann

Brilliant song my grandfather used to sing this many many years ago

I remember singing this folk song when I was a child..back in the 50's or early 60's..It was a very popular song and we just loved singing it...Thanks for the memories. p.s. I always wondered why in the world did he 'stab her with his knife'...

WOW, this has been on KZfaq for 14 years. This is the 1st time I've seen it. I've really enjoyed this version of this old song I heard decades ago.

My grandma had this on CD back in the 90s and I used to listen to it in her old Dodge Dynasty all the time as a young boy. Miss you, gramma.

Kingston Trio are tops!

Great rendition, acting and all!

Like many, just sticks in your head - tragic tale, beautiful tune.

I was just remembering this song during a walk today, decades since I had first heard it in school, before finally hearing it again right here. Thank you for this video which is excellent. 🎸

Now THIS was awesome. One of THE classic folk songs from Kingston Trio. Editing was really good to match vocals. 5 stars for sure.

My high school music teacher taught us this song back in high school in the 80’s. It popped into my head this morning as well as several times over the years. I thought nothing of singing the words to this catchy tune back then but really it’s actually a grim song to teach in schools. Can you imagine getting this pass the PC police today?!

This was nicely done......and such a colorful song

Best music video for this song on KZfaq!

It was about 19 5455 when my mother and father divorced every Sunday I’d see my dad and they always play this on the radio it’s the first song I ever remember born in 1952

This never gets old. I've watched it dozens of times over the years.

Its so sad ive felt ive lived in the eternal triangle! So very sad. I hung my head down for years. When the person who created that feeling felt that years later. Had all the love and support needed. Dont wish harm on anyone. But dont get it x

My husband love this song very much.... It reminds me of him when ever I heard this song

I heard for the first time about Tom Dooley in my childhood, from my Mom. It always follows me. My Mom died 38 years ago. (RIP)

Just Excellent!!

Been listening to this song since I was a teenager. ...love it. ..

💚❤ this so much the Kingston Trio would be happy Ben

Another Road trip remembrance the "Kinston Trio" is great group

We used to sing this as kids many years ago. 😻

thank you! used to listen to this song centuries ago!!!!love it!

My Dad loved this song .. R.I.P Dad

love this song saw the movie in british guyana as a kid with my dad love micheal landon and the series bonanza bud from nyc

I woke up this morning with this song running through my head, I havn't heard it since elementary school in the 70's, thanks for having a video to watch or it would have played over and over in my head, and nice job with the video so many people put complete garbage out, but you did a good job

So love this ❤

this is a great song. it was the first song i learned to play on the guitar

My Teacher Ms. Griffith, taught us this song in 2nd Grade ( Williamsburg Elementary, NC) Till this day, I still remember the words !!

I've watched this many times. Love it!

The first Song, I grew up with... Never forget...😑

Very well done. In the mid-60s my brothers and I would harmonize this ballad in the back of the Buick riding with my father going from south Atlanta to visit his family in Indiana. I was maybe 12-13; my brothers younger. We had no idea what it was we were singing about but we sure did enjoy singing it over & over. I recalled this memory when I came across book today by Sharyn McCrumb that attempts to recreate the story from the viewpoint of attorney who defended Tom. Great video.

I don't understand why there aren't more views - this is awesome!!

Great! Really captured the mood of the song as I've always felt it! Thanks for a new spin on an old favorite!

what can I say but Brilliant, love the song and that makes it great

pretty good, nice job. i love this song.

talk about OLD pop / Country music I'm 56 and mama and Dad use to play this song when I was 5 yrs old

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 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 This time tomorrow Reckon where I'll be Hadn't a-been for Grayson I'd a-been in Tennessee 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 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 This time tomorrow Reckon where I'll be Down in some lonesome valley Hangin' from a white oak tree 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 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 Poor boy, you're bound to die Poor boy you're bound to die Poor boy, you're bound to die...

I just heard this song for the first time today on the radio...It was a small show aimed at these types of songs....I am so happy that I fell upon that show because this song is truely a lost but now found classic.

Shure bring back memories of my younger days loved that song I tryed to put myself in his place But could not

My Dad was good friends with the Kingston Trio, this vid was a great tribute to their work, Bob Shane should get a smile after seeing this vid.

Song was top of hit parade in Western Australia when I met my wife. Mike Dooley. Good conversation icebreaker indeed. Worked well.

I first started listening to this song I was about 10, 72 now. Had a quiet profound effect!

I used to dance to this song with my friend Petra when I was little in the Netherlands, we had no clue what the words meant because we didn't learn English yet, still after 55 years the song pops up in my mind

Lovely song and wonderful videography for this song.

Its now 2024. Use to sing this song in elementary school, still goes through my head today

This song is eerie with how dark this really is. Such a classic!

Great video and acting on you boys doing.thjs song is part of my family history and will be passed on forever.thank you.good job.
