Fais ta prière Tom Dooley
Ça peut toujours servir
Fais ta prière Tom Dooley
Demain tu vas mourir

Devant ton verre de rhum
Dans le matin blafard
Tâche au moins d'être un homme
Avant le grand départ

Fais ta prière Tom Dooley
C'est tout c'qu'on peut t'offrir
Fais ta prière Tom Dooley
Demain tu vas mourir

Quand au lever du jour
On viendra te chercher
Pardonne à ton amour
C'est lui ton seul péché

Fais ta prière Tom Dooley
Avant de t'endormir
Fais ta prière Tom Dooley
Demain tu vas mourir

Fais ta prière Tom Dooley
Y'a plus rien d'autre à faire
Fais ta prière Tom Dooley
Pour éviter l'enfer

Tu vas enfin revoir
Celle que tu aimais trop
Emporte au moins l'espoir
De mieux l'aimer là haut

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,
and there I took her life.
I met her on the mountain,
and 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 been for Grayson,
I'd 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!

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!
