Knoxville Girl

Pre>(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)
Well...
