Verse 1
F
I met little girl in Knoxville,
Bb
F
a town we all know well
And every Sunday evening
G
C
out in her home I dwell
F
Well, we went to take an evening walk
Bb
F
About a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the ground
C
F
And I knocked that fair girl down
C
F
She fell down on her bending knees
Bb
F
For mercy she did try
Sayin', Willie dear, don't kill me here
G
C
I'm unprepared to die
F
She never spoke another word
Bb
F
I only beat her more
Until the ground around me
C
F
Within her blood did flow
I took her by her golden curls,
Bb
F
I swung her round and round.
I threw her in the river
G
C
that flows to Knoxville town.
F
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl,
Bb
F
with your dark and rolling eyes.
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl,
C
F
C
F
C
F
you can never be my bride
I started back to Knoxville,
Bb
got there about midnight
F
My mother, she was weary
G
C
and woke up in the fray
what have you done
Bb
F
to bloody your poor soul?
I told my aching mother,
C
F
I've been bleeding at my nose
I call for me a candle
Bb
F
to light myself to bed
I call for me a handkerchief
G
C
to bind my aching head
F
I roll and tumble the whole night through
Bb
F
for troubles were for me
Like flames of hell around my bed
C
F
C
F
Within my eyes could see
They took me down to Nashville
Bb
F
And locked me in a cell
My friends all tried to get me out,
G
C
but none could roll my bell.
F
I'm here to waste my life away,
Bb
F
down in this dirty old jail.
Because I murdered that Knoxville girl,
C
F
a girl I love so well. you
