Lyrics
Poor, poor Tom
He shot his baby down
Lord, Lord, Lord
Come save this poor man's soul
All night long, I heard your ghost call my name
All night long, calling my name
Said, "The hangman's coming boy, this is your final day."
Poor, poor Tom
He'll get a poor man's grave
Preacher, Preacher, come save me
Mr. Preacher, please save me
Sweet Jesus, don't leave me
I'm a sinner, please-please save me
All night long; all night long
I'll be coming home sweet Jesus (Jesus)
Please don't forget my name
Dead man walkin'
Dead man walkin'
