|
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 |
