[N] [B] I met a little girl in Knoxville, [E] a town we all [B] know well
And every Sunday evening [C#] out in her home [F#] I dwell
[B] We went to [F#] take [B] an evening walk [E] about
[B] her
I picked the stick up off the ground [F#] and knocked that [B] fair girl down
She fell down on her bended knees, [E] for mercy she [B] did cry
Oh, Willie dear, don't kill me here, I'm [C#] unprepared [F#] to die
She [B] never spoke another word, [E] I only beat [B] her more
Until the ground around me [F#] within her blood did [B] flow
I [Bm] took her by her [B] golden curls and [E] I drug her around
[B]
And took her into the
[C#] richest New Knoxville [F#] town
Go [B] down, go down, New Knoxville girl, with [E] the dark and rolling [B] eyes
Go down, go down, New Knoxville girl, you [F#] can never feed [B] my pride
[F#] [B]
I started back in Knoxville, got [E] there about [B] midnight
My mother, she was weary [C#] and woke up in [F#] a fright
[B] Saying, dear son, what have you done [E] to bloody your [B] close soul?
I told my anxious mother, [F#] I was bleeding at [B] my nose
I called for me a candle to [E] light myself to [B] bed
I called for me a handkerchief [C#] to bind my [F#] aching head
[B] Rolled and tumbled the hole right through, [E] as trouble was for [B] me
Like flames of hell around my bed [F#] and in my eyes could [B]
see
They carried me down to Knoxville [E] and put me in [B] a cell
My friends all tried to get me out, but [C#] none could go my [F#] way
I'm [B] here to waste my life away [E] down in this dirty [B] old jail
Because I murdered that Knoxville girl, [F#] the girl I loved so well
And every Sunday evening [C#] out in her home [F#] I dwell
[B] We went to [F#] take [B] an evening walk [E] about
[B] her
I picked the stick up off the ground [F#] and knocked that [B] fair girl down
She fell down on her bended knees, [E] for mercy she [B] did cry
Oh, Willie dear, don't kill me here, I'm [C#] unprepared [F#] to die
She [B] never spoke another word, [E] I only beat [B] her more
Until the ground around me [F#] within her blood did [B] flow
I [Bm] took her by her [B] golden curls and [E] I drug her around
[B]
And took her into the
[C#] richest New Knoxville [F#] town
Go [B] down, go down, New Knoxville girl, with [E] the dark and rolling [B] eyes
Go down, go down, New Knoxville girl, you [F#] can never feed [B] my pride
[F#] [B]

Like flames of hell around my bed [F#] and in my eyes could [B]
see
