Knoxville Girl

The fog rolls in the morning, I can hardly find my way

Home to where the heart is, the words can't begin to say

Enough about the gentle way you always take me in

The long and narrow one way road's got to take me home again

Go down, go down to Knoxville girl

With that dark and rovin' eye

Go down, go down to Knoxville girl

'Cause I know you'll never be my bride

I met a little girl in Knoxville town, a town you all know well

Feelin' good like I should, into her love I fell

The night was long, she lay there by my side

Held me close within her arms and kept me satisfied

Go down, go down to Knoxville girl

With that dark and rovin' eye

Go down, go down to Knoxville girl

'Cause I know you'll never be my bride

Go down, go down to Knoxville girl

With that dark and rovin' eye

Go down, go down to Knoxville girl

'Cause I know you'll never be my bride

So on it goes and no one knows where heartache ever ends

Above all that it'll get exactly what it lends

The time has come to steal my love from me

In this pain I will remain and sing this misery

Go down, go down to Knoxville girl

With that dark and rovin' eye

Go down, go down to Knoxville girl

'Cause I know you'll never be my bride
