C
I met a lil' girl in Knoxville town,
we all know well
G
And every Sunday evening,
D
within her hole, I'd dwell
G
I took her for an evening walk
C
G
about a half a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the ground
D
G
and knocked that fair girl down
Verse 2
G
She fell down on her bended knee,
C
G
for mercy she did cry
"Oh Willie, dear, don't kill me here,
G
She never spoke another word,
C
G
I only beat her more
D
Until the ground around her wet,
her blood did flow
G

I took her by her golden curls,
C

through Knoxville town
you Knoxville girl
C

With your dark and roaming eye
Go there, go there,
you Knoxville girl
my bride

My mother, she was worried,

Verse 5
They took me down to Knoxville,
C

So now I'm down in Knoxville,
C

I am locked in this dirty old cell
But they can only kill me,
D
I don't believe in hell
