    • Verse 1
    I met 
    a little 
    girl 
    in Knoxville 

    A town 
    we 
    all 
    know well 

    And 
    every 
    Sunday 
    evening 

    Out 
    in her 
    home 
    I'd dwell

    We 
    decided to 
    take 
    an evening 
    walk 

    About 
    a mile 
    from town 

    I picked 
    a stick 
    up 
    off the 
    ground 

    And I Beat 
    That 
    Fair 
    Girl Down 

    She fell 
    down 
    on 
    her bended 
    knee 

    for mercy 
    she 
    did cry 

    Oh willy 
    dear, 
    don't kill 
    me 
    here, 

    I'm 
    unprepared 
    to die. 

    She nev
    er 
    spoke 
    another 
    word, 

    I only 
    beat 
    her more. 

    Until 
    the 
    ground 
    around 
    us, 

    with 
    all her 
    blood 
    did pour. 

    I took 
    her 
    by 
    her golden 
    curls 
    and drug 
    her round 
    and round, 


    Throwing(ed) her 
    into 
    the river 
    that flows 

    through 
    Knoxville 
    town. 

    Go down, 
    go 
    down 
    you Knoxville 
    girl 

    with dark 
    and rolling 
    eye. 

    Go down, 
    go 
    down 
    you Knoxville 
    girl, 

    you can never 
    be 
    my bride. 

    I headed 
    back 
    to Knoxville, 

    got there 
    about 
    midnight. 

    My mother 
    she 
    was worried 

    and woke 
    up 
    in 
    a fright. 

    I told 
    my 
    anxious mother 

    I was bleeding 
    out 
    my nose. 

    I called 
    for 
    me 
    a candle 

    to light 
    myself 
    to bed. 

    I called 
    for 
    me 
    a handkerchief 

    to bind 
    my 
    aching head 

    Rolled 
    and 
    tumbled 
    the whole 
    night 
    through 

    as troubles 
    was 
    for me 

    Like flames 
    of hell 
    around 
    my 
    bed 
    and 

    in my 
    eyes could see 

    They carried 
    me 
    down 
    to Knoxville 

    and put 
    me 
    in 
    a cell 

    My friends 
    all 
    tried 
    to get 
    me 
    out 

    but none 
    could 
    go 
    my bail 

    I'm here 
    to 
    waste 
    my life 
    away 

    down 
    in this 
    dirty 
    old jail. 

    Because 
    I 
    murdered 
    that Knoxville 
    girl, 

    The girl 
    I 
    loved 
    so 

    Well...

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
