New Tag

Help

Q: What are tags?
A: Tags are a way to add consistent notes to songs.

Q: When should I use tags?
A: Tags should be used for "notes" that can apply to multiple songs or performances. A good tag would be "clawhammer", to apply to all songs that Billy plays on his banjo. A bad tag would be "Streaker ran across stage" - since this has only happened once (thank goodness).

Q: Where should I add a tag?
A: A tag that should apply to everytime a song is played, like "solo, acappella" for "And am I Born to Die" should be added on the songs page. This will automatically add the tag every time that song is added to a setlist.

A tag that only applies to certain performances of a song, like "pay Jarrod Walker's fine" lyric change that happens in some versions of "Little Maggie" should be added to that particular version of the song on each setlist.

Q: How do I add a tag?
A: Click the "Manage tags" button either from the songs page or the song editing option on the edit setlist page. Click on a tag from the "Available" tags to add it to the song. Click on a tag from under the song title to remove it from the song. Click the "New Tag" button if the tag you want to add is not under the Available tags list.

[Chorus]
Hang your head, Tom Dooley
Hang your head and cry
You hung poor Laura Foster
You know you're bound to die

[Verse 1]
You took her on the hillside
As God Almighty knows
You took her on the hillside
And there, you hid her clothes

[Verse 2]
You took her by the roadside
Where you begged to be excused
Took her by the roadside
Where there, you hid her shoes

[Verse 3]
You took her on the hillside
To make her your wife
Took her on the hillside
Where there, you took her life

[Chorus]
Hang your head, Tom Dooley
Hang your head and cry
You hung poor Laura Foster
You know you're bound to die

[Verse 4]
Take down my old violin
Play it all you please
This time tomorrow
It'll be of no use to me

[Chorus]
Hang your head, Tom Dooley
Hang your head and cry
You hung poor Laura Foster
You know you're bound to die

[Verse 5]
I dug a grave four feet long
I dug it three feet deep
Rolled old cold clay o'er her
And tromped it with my feet

[Chorus]
Hang your head, Tom Dooley
Hang your head and cry
You hung poor Laura Foster
You know you're bound to die

[Verse 6]
This world, and one more
Then, where you reckon I'll be
If it hadn'ta been for Grayson
I'da been in Tennessee

[Chorus]
Hang your head, Tom Dooley
Hang your head and cry
You hung poor Laura Foster
You know you're bound to die
