Knoxville Girl chords by The Lemonheads, The Lemonheads
Verse 1
D
I met a little girl in Knoxville
G
D
A town we all know well
And every Sunday evening
G
A
Out in her home I'd dwell
D
We decided to take an evening walk
G
D
About a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the ground
A
D
And I Beat That Fair Girl Down
She fell down on her bended knee
G
D
for mercy she did cry
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.
Until the ground around us,
A
D
with all her blood did pour.
G
D
I took her by her golden curls and drug her round and round,
G
Throwing(ed) her into the river that flows
A
through Knoxville town.
D
Go down, go down you Knoxville girl
G
D
with dark and rolling eye.
Go down, go down you Knoxville girl,
A
D
you can never be my bride.
I headed back to Knoxville,
G
got there about midnight.
D
My mother she was worried
G
A
D
G
D
and woke up in a fright.
I told my anxious mother
A
D
I was bleeding out my nose.
I called for me a candle
G
D
to light myself to bed.
I called for me a handkerchief
G
A
to bind my aching head
D
Rolled and tumbled the whole night through
G
D
as troubles was for me
A
Like flames of hell around my bed and
D
in my eyes could see
They carried me down to Knoxville
G
D
and put me in a cell
My friends all tried to get me out
G
A
but none could go my bail
D
I'm here to waste my life away
G
D
down in this dirty old jail.
Because I murdered that Knoxville girl,
A
The girl I loved so
D
Well...
Knoxville Girl
