I met a girl in KnoxvilleA town we all know well,And every Sunday evenin'Out in her home I'd dwell.We went to take an evening walkAbout a mile from town,I picked a stick up off the ground,And knocked that fair girl down.She fell down on her bended kneesFor mercy she did cry."Oh Willy dear don't kill me here,I'm not prepared to die."She never spoke another wordI only beat her more,Until the ground around meWithin her blood did flow.I took her by her golden curlsDragged her 'round and 'round.Then threw her in the riverThat flows through Knoxville town.Go there, go there,SongtexteYou Knoxville girlWith dark and rolling eyes.Go there, go there,You Knoxville girlYou'll never be my wife.I rolled and turned the whole night throughMy dreams were living hell.And then they came from KnoxvilleAnd carried me to jail.I'm here to waste my life awayAnd time is passing slow.Because I killed that Knoxville girlThe girl that I loved so.
