[Intro:]
Throughout history
There've been many songs written about the eternal triangle
This Weiter 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...
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...
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...

Catch a falling star, sterne an’ put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away!
Catch a falling star, sterne an’ put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!
For Liebe may come an' tap Du on the shoulder,
Some star-less night!
Just in case Du feel Du wanna’ hold her,
You’ll have a pocketful of starlight!
Catch a falling star, sterne ....
For Liebe may come and tap Du on the shoulder ....
Catch a falling star, sterne ....
For when your troubles startn’ multiplyin’,
An' they just might!
It’s easy to forget them without tryin’,
With just a pocketful of starlight!
Catch a falling star, sterne ....
Never let it fade away!
Catch a falling star, sterne an’ put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!
For Liebe may come an' tap Du on the shoulder,
Some star-less night!
Just in case Du feel Du wanna’ hold her,
You’ll have a pocketful of starlight!
Catch a falling star, sterne ....
For Liebe may come and tap Du on the shoulder ....
Catch a falling star, sterne ....
For when your troubles startn’ multiplyin’,
An' they just might!
It’s easy to forget them without tryin’,
With just a pocketful of starlight!
Catch a falling star, sterne ....
