Knoxville Girl Billy Cobb

[Verse]
I met a little girl in Knoxville
A town we all know well
And every Sunday evening
Out in her home I'd dwell
We went to take an evening walk
About a mile from town
I picked a stick up from the ground
And knocked that fair girl down

[Verse]
She fell down on a bed of leaves
For mercy she did cry
"Oh Willy, dear don’t kill me here"
"I'm unprepared to die"
She never spoke another word
I only be her morе [?]
Until the ground around me
Within her blood did pour

[Verse]
I took hеr by her golden curls
And drug 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 rolling eyes
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl
You can never be my bride
