Knoxville Girl Lyrics

Knoxville Girl lyrics

The fog rolls in the morning

And I can hardly find my way

Home to where the heart is 

That words can't begin to say

Enough about the gentle way

You always take me in

The long and narrow one way roads 

Got to take me home again



Go down, go down to Knoxville, girl

With that dark and roving eye

Go down, go down to Knoxville, girl

Cause I know you'll never be my bride



I met a little girl down in Knoxville town

And I've known her well

Feelin' good like I should

Into her love I fell

The night was long

She lay there by my side

We made love and in her arms

She keeps me satisfied



Chorus



Chorus



So on it goes

And no one knows

Where heartache ever ends

Trouble friend, you'll get exactly what it lends

The time is come 

To steal my love from me

In this pain, I will remain

And sing this misery



Chorus
