Subject: RE: 'Hang down your head and die'(Theatre sh
Is it not a quote from "Tom Dooley" which was popularised by the Kingston trio and Lonnie Donegan in the early 60s?

Hang down your head and cry,
Hang down your head Tom Dooley,
Poor boy, you're bound to die."
And he got hanged for stabbing his woman.
