DI met a little girl in D7Knoxville a Gtown we all know Dwell
And every Sunday evening out Ein her home I Adwelled
I Dtook her for an evening D7walk a Gbout a mile from Dtown
I picked a stick up off the ground and Aknocked that fair girl Ddown
She fell down on her bended D7knees for Gmercy she did Dcry
"Oh Willy dear don?t kill me here I?m Eunprepared to Adie"
She Dnever spoke another D7word, I Gonly beat her Dmore
Until the ground around her with Ait her blood did Dflow
I took her by her golden D7curls and Gswung her round and Dround
I threw her in the river that Eflows through Knoxville Atown
Go Dthere go there you D7Knoxville girl with the Gdark and roving Deyes
Go there go there you Knoxville girl you can Anever be my Dbride
I started back to D7Knoxville got Gthere about mid Dnight
My mother dear was worried and Ewoke up in a Afright
She Dsaid oh son what D7have you done to Gbloody you clothes Dso
I told my ancient mother I?d been Ableeding at my Dnose
I called for me a D7candle to Glight myself to Dbed
I called for me a hankerchief to Ebind my aching Ahead
I Drolled and tumbled the D7whole night through, not a Gwink that night did Dsleep
While the flames of hell around my bed with- Ain my eyes could Dsee
They took me down to D7Knoxville they Glocked me in the Dcell
My friends all tried to get me out but Enone could go my Abail
So Dnow I?m wasting my D7life away down Gin this dirty old Djail
Because I murdered that Knoxville girl the Agirl I loved so Dwell
