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