Verse 1
D
A
D
I met a little girl in Knoxville
G
D
A town we all know well
And every sunday evening
E
A
In her home I'd dwell
D
We went to take an evening walk
G
D
About a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the ground
A
D
And I knocked that fair girl down
She fell down on her bended knees
G
D
For mercy she did cry
"Oh Willy, dear, don't kill me yet
E
A
I'm unprepared to die"
D
She never spoke another word
G
D
I only beat her more
Until the ground around me
A
D
A
D
With her blood did flow
I took her by her golden curls
G
And I dragged her 'round
Throwing her into the river
E
A
That flows from Knoxville town
D
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl
G
D
With your dark and roving eyes
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl
A
D
You can never be my bride
I started back to Knoxville
G
D
Got there about midnight
My mother, she was worried
E
A
She woke up in a fright
D
Saying, "Dear son, what have you done
G
D
To bloody up your clothes?"
I told my anxious mother
A
D
A
D
That I was bleading in my nose
I called for me a candle
G
D
And I called for me a bed
And I called for me a handkerchief
E
A
To bind my aching head
D
I rolled and thrashed the
whole night through
G
D
All horrors I did see
The devil stood at the foot of my bed
A
D
Pointing his finger at me
They carried me down to Knoxville
G
D
And put me in a cell
My friends all tried to get me out
E
A
But none could grow my bail
D
I'm here to waste my life away
G
D
Down in this dirty old jail
Because I murdered that Knoxville girl
A
D
The girl I loved so well
