The Lemonheads - Knoxville Girl текст песни

(verse 1)

D
I met a little girl in Knoxville

GD
A town we all know well

D
And every Sunday evening

GA
Out in her home I'd dwell

D
We decided to take an evening walk

GD
About a mile from town

D
I picked a stick up off the ground

GD
And beat that fair girl down


(Right here you go nuts all over the d chord for two bars)


(verse 2)

DGD
She fell down on her bended knee for mercy she did cry

DGA
"Oh Willy dear, don't kill me here, I'm unprepared to die."

DGD
She never spoke another word, I only beat her more.

DGD
Until the ground around us, with all her blood did pour.

(Nuts on the D)


(verse 3)

DGD
I took her by her golden curls and drug her round and round,

DGA
throwing(ed) her into the river that flows through Knoxville town.

DGD
Go down, go down you Knoxville girl with dark and rolling eye.

DGD
Go down, go down you Knoxville girl, you can never be my bride.

D


(verse 4)

DGD
I headed back to Knoxville, got there about midnight.

DGA
My mother she was worried and woke up in a fright.

DGD
Saying, "dear son what have you done to bloody your clothes so?"

DGD
I told my anxious mother I was bleeding out my nose.

D


(verse 5)

DGD
I called for me a candle to light myself to bed.

DGA
I called for me a hankercheif to bind my aching head

DGD
Rolled and tumbled the whole night through as troubles was for me

DGD
Like flames of Hell around my bed and in my eyes could see

D


(verse 6)

DGD
They carried me down to Knoxville and put me in a cell

DGA
My friends all tried to get me out but none could go my bail

DGD
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...
