Intro D

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 went to take an evening walk
G D
About a mile from town
D
I picked a stick up off the ground
G A D
And beat that fair girl down

D
She fell down on her bended knee
G D
For mercy she did cry
D
"Oh Willy dear, don't kill me here,
G A
I'm unprepared to die."
D
She never spoke another word,
G D
I only beat her more.
D
Until the ground around us,
G A D
With all her blood did pour.

D
I took her by her golden curls
G D
And drug her round and round,
D
Throwing her into the river
G A
That flows through Knoxville town
D
Go down, go down you Knoxville girl
G D
With dark and rolling eye
D
Go down, go down you Knoxville girl,
G A D
You can never be my bride

D
I headed back to Knoxville,
G D
Got there about midnight.
D
My mother she was worried and
G A
Woke up in a fright.
D
Saying, "dear son what have you done to
G D
Bloody your clothes so?"
D
I told my anxious mother I
G A D
Was bleeding out my nose

D
I called for me a candle to
G D
Light myself to bed
D
I called for me a hankercheif to
G A
Bind my aching head
D
Rolled and tumbled the whole night through as
G D
Troubles was for me
D
Like flames of Hell around my bed and
G A D
In my eyes could see

D
They carried me down to Knoxville and
G D
Put me in a cell
D
My friends all tried to get me out but
G A
None could go my bail
D
I'm here to waste my life away down
G D
In this dirty old jail.
D
Because I murdered that Knoxville girl,
G
The girl I loved so
D
Well...
