Hang your head down low, Sweet Mary
Hang your head down low
For the reapers come a'callin'
and a'swingin' I must go
Hang your head and weep, Sweet Mary
Hang your head and weep
For it won't be long
'til that eternal sleep
Hang your head and cry, Sweet Mary
Hang your head and cry
For we both know now
it's my time to die
Raise your head up high, Sweet Mary
Raise your head up high
We'll meet again,
in the sweet by and by
