Tonalidad: G major
Verse 1
G
I met a girl in Knoxville,
town we all know well
And every Sunday evening,
in her home I dwell
We went to take an evening walk,
C
G
about a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the ground,
D
G
and knocked that fair girl down
She fell down on her bended knees,
C
G
for mercy she did cry
Her will is out to kill me
A
D
and I'm unprepared to die
G
She never spoke another word,
C
G
I only beat her more
Until the crowd around me,
D
G
with their blood, just fell
I took her by her golden curls
C
G
and dragged her round and round
I threw her into the river,
A
D
and blew us from Knoxville town
G
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl,
C
G
with your dark and gloomy eyes
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl,
D
G
you can't ever be my bride
I started back to Knoxville,
C
G
got there about midnight
My mother, she was worried,
A
D
she woke up in a fray
G
Saying, dear my son,
what have you done
C
G
to bloody up your clothes?
I told my anxious mom,
D
G
I was bleeding in my nose
And I called for me a candle,
C
G
I called for me a bed
I called for me a handkerchief
A
D
to bind my aching head
G
I ruled and crashed the whole night long,
C
G
all I was I did see
Today we stood at the foot of my bed,
D
G
but morning is later in May
They brought me back to Knoxville,
C
G
and they put me in a cell
My friends all tried to get me out,
A
D
but no one could prove my bail
G
I'm here to waste my life away,
C
G
down in this dirty old jail
Because I murdered an Oxford girl,
D
G
a girl I loved so well
Because I murdered an Oxford girl,
D
A
G
Em
a girl I loved so well
