Can you hear us?
No, we're creating art here.
Oh.
Let me wash my brushes out.
Alright.
I met a girl in Knoxville, a town we all [G] know well.
Every Sunday evening, [Am] out in her home [D] I'd play.
[G] We went to take an evening walk [C] about a [G] mile from town.
[C] I picked a stick [G] up off the [D] ground and knocked that [G] black girl down.
She fell down on her bended knee.
[C] For mercy she [G] did cry.
Oh, well it did.
Don't kill me here.
[Am] I'm not [D] prepared to die.
[G] She never spoke another word.
[C] I only beat [G] her more.
[C] Until the ground [G] around me [D] with her blood [G] did flow.
I took her by her golden curls, [C] dragged her [G] round and round.
Loaded her in the river [A] that flows to [D] Knoxville town.
[G] Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl, [C] with dark and [G] rolling eyes.
[C] Go down, go down, [G] you Knoxville girl, [D] you never leave [G] my grind.
I started back to Knoxville, [C] got there about [G] midnight.
My mother, she was worried, [Am] she woke up [D] in a frize.
[G] Saying, dear son, what have you done [C] to bloody your [G] clothes?
So I [C] told my anxious [G]
mother, [D] I split and left [G] the nose.
I called for me a candle [C] to light myself [G] to bed.
I called for me a handkerchief [A] to bind my [D] aching head.
[G] Lord, they tumbled home, I threw [C] what as tough as was [G] for me.
[C] Like flames of hell [G] around my bed [D] and in my [G] eyes could see.
They carried me down to Knoxville, [C] they put me [G] in a cell.
My friends tried to get me out, [Am] but none could [D] go my bail.
[G] I'm going to waste my vile way [C] down in this [G] dirty old jail.
[C] Because I'm a [G]
Knoxville girl, [D] the girl I love [G] so well.
Okay, I really want to share this joke.
Was that enough sound?
Okay, let me kind of finish the joke.
Okay.
[Db] Duck walks in an ice cream store and says,
Hey man, [Eb] you got [A] any [E] nails?
And [N] the guy says, no, we don't have nails.
And the next day the duck walks in an ice cream store and says,
Yeah man.
No, duck walks in an ice cream store.
Okay, duck walks in.
Is that a chicken?
Okay, duck walks in an [G] ice cream store and says,
Hey man, you got any [D] nails?
No, the duck walks in an ice cream store and says,
Hey man, you got any duck food?
And the guy says, no, we don't have duck [Bb] food.
And so the duck walks in the next day and [Db] says,
Yeah man, you got any duck [Gb] food?
And the guy says, no, we don't have duck food.
[E] And so the next day the duck walks in and says,
[Gb]
Hey, you got any duck [Eb] food?
And the guy says, no, if you walk back in here and ask [E] for duck food again,
I'll nail your feet to the floor.
And so the next [D] day the duck walks in and says,
Hey man, [Ab] you got any nails?
And the guy says, [Eb] no.
He says, well, you got any [C] duck food?
Jesus.
Stick your singing voice.
[Bb]
