While the song was recorded in 1958 and became a big hit single, I might not have heard it for the first time until perhaps 1960 when I was eight years old. I always thought the song was in reference to Dr. Tom A. Dooley III (17 Jan 1927 - 18 Jan 1961), a very famous Catholic aid worker in Indochina at the time. He and his aid work had been the subject of magazine articles in wide circulation publications such as Life, Saturday Evening Post, Look, etc, which is probably how he'd come to my attention. By 1960 it was widely known that Tom Dooley was losing a battle with cancer so even as a youngster in those much less politically correct times I thought the song was rather mean. "Yeah, Tom, despite all your selfless humanitarian work you're still going to die!"

This impression of mine was evidently not uncommon at the time. But just yesterday I learned that my lifelong assumption was incorrect! The song actually originated as a southern folk spiritual based on the 1866 murder of a woman named Laura Foster in Wilkes County, North Carolina. Tom Dula (pronounced Dooley) was hanged for the crime but there remains considerable doubt that his conviction was wrongful.
