Lemonheads - Knoxville Girl lyrics

pre>(verse 1) D I met a little girl in knoxville G d A town we all know well D And every sunday evening G a Out in her home i'd dwell D We decided to take an evening walk G d About a mile from town D I picked a stick up off the ground G d And beat that fair girl down (right here you go nuts all over the d chord for two bars) (verse 2) D g d She fell down on her bended knee for mercy she did cry D g a "oh willy dear, don't k** me here, i'm unprepared to die." D g d She never spoke another word, i only beat her more. D g d Until the ground around us, with all her blood did pour. (nuts on the d) (verse 3) D g d I took her by her golden curls and drug her round and round, D g a Throwing(ed) her into the river that flows through knoxville town. D g d Go down, go down you knoxville girl with dark and rolling eye. D g d Go down, go down you knoxville girl, you can never be my bride. D (verse 4) D g d I headed back to knoxville, got there about midnight. D g a My mother she was worried and woke up in a fright. D g d Saying, "dear son what have you done to bloody your clothes so?" D g d I told my anxious mother i was bleeding out my nose. D (verse 5) D g d I called for me a candle to light myself to bed. D g a I called for me a hankercheif to bind my aching head D g d Rolled and tumbled the whole night through as troubles was for me D g d Like flames of hell around my bed and in my eyes could see D (verse 6) D g d They carried me down to knoxville and put me in a cell D g a My friends all tried to get me out but none could go my bail D g d I'm here to waste my life away down in this dirty old jail. D Because i murdered that knoxville girl, G(once) The girl i loved so D(once) Well... /pre>
