Verse 1
D
I met little girl in Knoxville,
G
D
a town we all know well
And every Sunday evening
E
A
out in her home I dwell
D
Well, 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
A
D
She fell down on her bending knees
G
D
For mercy she did try
Sayin', Willie dear, don't kill me here
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
Within her blood did flow
I took her by her golden curls,
G
D
I swung her round and round.
I threw her in the river
E
A
that flows to Knoxville town.
D
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl,
G
D
with your dark and rolling eyes.
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl,
A
D
A
D
A
D
you can never be my bride
I started back to Knoxville,
G
got there about midnight
D
My mother, she was weary
E
A
and woke up in the fray
D
Saying, son, oh son,
what have you done
G
D
to bloody your poor soul?
I told my aching mother,
A
D
I've been bleeding at my nose
I call for me a candle
G
D
to light myself to bed
I call for me a handkerchief
E
A
to bind my aching head
D
I roll and tumble the whole night through
G
D
for troubles were for me
Like flames of hell around my bed
A
D
A
D
Within my eyes could see
They took me down to Nashville
G
D
And locked me in a cell
My friends all tried to get me out,
E
A
but none could roll my bell.
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
a girl I love so well. you
