I met her on the mountain, there I took her life
Met her on the mountain, stabbed her with my knife
[To chorus]
This time tomorrow, reckon where I’ll be
Hadn’t-a been for Grayson, I’d-a been in Tennessee.
[To chorus]
This time tomorrow, reckon where I’ll be:
Down in some lonesome valley hangin’ from a white oak tree.
[To chorus]
