Текст песни: Knoxville Girl + перевод

I met a little girl in Knoxville

Down beyond the well

And every Sunday evening

Out in her home I dwelled

We went to take an evenin' stroll

About a mile from town

I picked a stick up off the ground

And knocked that fair girl down

She fell down on her bended knees

For mercy she did cry

«Oh Willie, 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 me

With it her blood did flow

I grabbed her by her golden curls

And drug her 'round and 'round

Throwing her into the river

That flows through Knoxville-town

Go there, go there, you Knoxville girl

With dark and rolling eyes

Go there, go there, you Knoxville girl

You can never be my bride

I rolled and tumbled the whole night through

My dreams were living hell

And then they came from Knoxville

To carry me to jail

I’m here to waste my life away

Down in this dirty old cell

Because I murdered that Knoxville girl

The girl I loved so well

Aw, thank ya. Kinda sad, kinda pretty, kinda gross. I don’t know.​
