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
out in her home I 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 knocked that fair girl down
She fell down on her bended knee,
G
D
for mercy she did cry
Saying, Willard, 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 crap around her
A
D
A
D
in her blood did pour
I took her by her golden curls
G
D
and I drugged her round and round
Throwing her into the river
E
A
that runs through Knoxville town
D
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl,
G
D
with the dark and rolling eyes.
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl,
A
D
you can never be my bride.
I started back to Knoxville,
G
got there about midnight.
D
My mother, she was worried
E
A
and woke up in a fright
D
Saying, dear son, what have you done
G
D
to bloody your closed soul?
I told my anxious mother
A
D
A
I was bleeding at my nose
G
D
to light my way to bed
I call for me a handkerchief
E
A
to bind my aching head
whole night through,
G
D
such troubles weren't for me
And flames of hell around my bed
A
D
were all that I could see
They took 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 go my bail
D
I'm here to waste my life away,
G
D
down here in this dirty old jail
Because I murdered that Knoxville girl,
A
D
a girl I loved so well you
