Knoxville Girl

(앨범: Outlaws - 1975)

The fog rolls in the morning
And I can hardly find my way
Along to where the heart is
Words can't begin to say
Enough about the gentle way
You always take me in
That long and narrow one-way road's
Got to take me home again

Go down, go down
Knoxville girl
With that dark and roving eye
Go down, go down
Knoxville girl
'Cause I know
You'll never be my bride

I met a little girl in Knoxville County
I'd known her well
Feeling good like I should
And to her love I felt
Time was long she lay there by my side
Held me close within her arms
And kept me satisfied

Go down, go down
Knoxville girl
With that dark and roving eye
Go down, go down
Knoxville girl
'Cause I know
You'll never be my bride

Go down, go down
Knoxville girl
With that dark and roving eye
Go down, go down
Knoxville girl
'Cause I know
You'll never be my bride

So on it goes and no one knows
Why heartache never ends
Above all that you will get
Exactly what it lends
Time has come to steal my love from me
In this pain I will remain
And sing this misery

Go down, go down
Knoxville girl
With that dark and roving eye
Go down, go down
Knoxville girl
'Cause I know
You'll never be my bride
