Lyrics Knoxville Girl - The Louvin Brothers
I
met
a
liitle
girl
in
Knoxville,
a
town
we
all
know
well,
And
every
Sunday
evening,
out
in
her
home
I'd
dwell,
We
went
to
take
an
evening
walk
about
a
mile
from
town,
I
picked
a
stick
up
off
the
ground
and
knocked
that
fair
girl
down.
She
fell
down
on
her
bended
knees
for
mercy
she
did
cry,
Oh
Willy
dear
don't
kill
me
here,
I'm
unprepared
to
die,
She
never
spoke
another
word,
I
only
beat
her
more,
Until
the
ground
around
me
within
her
blood
did
flow.
I
took
her
by
her
golden
curls
and
I
drug
her
round
and
around,
Throwing
her
into
the
river
that
flows
through
Knoxville
town,
Go
down,
go
down,
you
Knoxville
girl
with
the
dark
and
rolling
eyes,
Go
down,
go
down,
you
Knoxville
girl,
you
can
never
be
my
bride.
I
started
back
to
Knoxville,
got
there
about
midnight,
My
Mother
she
was
worried
and
woke
up
in
a
fright,
Saying
"Dear
son,
what
have
you
done
to
bloody
your
clothes
so?"
I
told
my
anxious
Mother,
I
was
bleeding
at
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.
