Verse 1
G
D
a town we all know well
And every Sunday evening out
E
A
in her home I'd dwell
G
D
walk about a mile from town
I thought of how she cheated me so
A
D
I knocked that fair girl down
She fell down on her bended
G
D
knees for mercy she did cry
Oh please my dear don't kill me
E
A
here I'm not prepare to die
G
D
I only beat her more
Until the ground around me
A
D
with inner blood did flow
I took her by her golden curles and
G
D
I dragged her round and round
Throwing her into the river that
E
A
flows through Knoxville town
G
D
with the dark and rovin' eyes
Go down go down you Knoxville
A
D
girl you can never be my bride
I started back to Knoxville got
G
D
there about daylight
My mother she was worried
E
A
and broke up in her pride
G
D
done too bloody your clothes are
I told my attention mother I
A
D
was bleeding at my nose
They took me down to Knoxville
G
D
and they locked me in a cell
My friends all tried to get me out
E
A
but none could go my bail
G
D
down in this dirty old jail
Because I killed that Knoxville
A
D
girl the one I loved so well
How did you like the song?
