Lyrics

(verse 1)



D

I met a little girl in knoxville



G d

A town we all know well



D

And every sunday evening



G a

Out in her home I'd dwell



D

We decided to take an evening walk



G d

About a mile from town



D

I picked a stick up off the ground



G d

And beat that fair girl down



(Right here you go nuts all over the d chord for two bars)



(Verse 2)



D g d

She fell down on her bended knee for mercy she did cry



D g a

"Oh willy dear, don't kill me here, I'm unprepared to die."



D g d

She never spoke another word, I only beat her more



D g d

Until the ground around us, with all her blood did pour



(Nuts on the d)



(Verse 3)



D g d

I took her by her golden curls and drug her round and round



D g a

Throwing(ed) her into the river that flows through knoxville town



D g d

Go down, go down you knoxville girl with dark and rolling eye



D g d

Go down, go down you knoxville girl, you can never be my bride



D



(Verse 4)



D g d

I headed back to knoxville, got there about midnight



D g a

My mother she was worried and woke up in a fright



D g d

Saying, "dear son what have you done to bloody your clothes so?"



D g d

I told my anxious mother I was bleeding out my nose



D



(Verse 5)



D g d

I called for me a candle to light myself to bed



D g a

I called for me a hankercheif to bind my aching head



D g d

Rolled and tumbled the whole night through as troubles was for me



D g d

Like flames of hell around my bed and in my eyes could see



D



(Verse 6)



D g d

They carried me down to knoxville and put me in a cell



D g a

My friends all tried to get me out but none could go my bail



D g d

I'm here to waste my life away down in this dirty old jail



D

Because I murdered that knoxville girl



G(once)

The girl I loved so



D(once)
