And every Sunday evening out in her home I'd dwell

We went to take an evening walk about a mile from town

I thought of how she cheated me so I knocked that fair girl down

She fell down on her bended knees for mercy she did cry
D7

Oh please my dear don't kill me here I'm unprepared to die
C

She never spoke another word I only beat her more

Until the ground around me with in her blood did flow

I took her by her golden curls and I dragged her round and round

Throwing her into the river that flows through Knoxville town

Go down go down you Knoxville girl with the dark and rovin' eyes

My mother she was worried and woke up in a fright C

Because I killed that Knoxville girl the one I loved so well
