Knoxville Girl (LP版) - The Lemonheads
I met a little 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 I beat that fair girl down
She fell down on her bended knee
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 us
With all her blood did pour
I took her by her golden curls
And ** her round and round
Throwing ed her into the river
That flows through Knoxville town
Go down go down you Knoxville girl
With dark and rolling eye
Go down go down you Knoxville girl
You can never be my bride
I headed 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 out 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
