One of my all time favorites! As a kid, my dad would turn the old juke box on and I'd play this one every time! I've been thinking of this song for a long time. Thanks for putting it up here! :D It's great!

Well, the responses are at least warm. "Eternal triangle" is a term both literary and cultural and as suggested above refers to two different people being in love with the same third party. Perhaps the term "love triangle" is more commonly used now, especially in real-life situations where in one way or another the story of this song is replicated. The "eternal" part of the term suggests that such problematic relationships have always existed and always will.

this song is a classic To me it is a beautiful folk ballad I first heard it when I was 5 and my older brother carried his transistor radio everywhere with him- still remember where I was standing in our yard when I heard it - loved it then- still do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The eternal triangle can be seen as biblical, but I don't think it is in this song. The eternal triangle I think this song refers to is when two people love the same person, and what comes from that. Jealousy. Hence Tom Dooley killing the person he loves--if he can't have her, no one can. "Took her on the mountain, swore she'd be my wife" then he kills her. Anyway, that's just how I hear the song.

That's what I was thinking too, but this is the only song I've ever hear make mention of the words "eternal triangle" and I was just wondering what other songs are there that mention it.

I thought the eternal triangle was a man, his wife, and her lover.

I am not sure either, but just maybe it has something to do with "Trinity" (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) or something like that, but I am sort of guessing, can't tell the exact truth :P |
