1
I met a little girl in Knoxville a town we all know well
2
And every Sunday evening out in her home I'd dwell
3
We went to take an evening walk about a mile from town
4
I thought of how she cheated me so I knocked that fair girl down
5
She fell down on her bended knees for mercy she did cry
6
Oh please my dear don't kill me here I'm not prepare to die
7
She never spoke another word I only beat her more
8
Until the ground around me with inner blood did flow
9
I took her by her golden curles and I dragged her round and round
10
Throwing her into the river that flows through Knoxville town
11
Go down go down you Knoxville girl with the dark and rovin' eyes
12
Go down go down you Knoxville girl you can never be my bride
13
I started back to Knoxville got there about daylight
14
My mother she was worried and broke up in her pride
15
Sayin' dear son what have you done too bloody your clothes are
16
I told my attention mother I was bleeding at my nose
17
They took me down to Knoxville and they locked me in a cell
18
My friends all tried to get me out but none could go my bail
19
I'm here to waste my life away down in this dirty old jail
20
Because I killed that Knoxville girl the one I loved so well
