Knoxville Girl
Knoxville girl, Knoxville girl
Knoxville girl, Knoxville girl
I passed your ghost on the old northern ridge
You was wearing them same far-away forever eyes
You was giving that same far-away forever smile
Oh mercy, oh mercy
The tragedy is the ungiven love
Going arm and arm with the all above
Oh mercy, oh mercy
Then up comes the Knoxville girl
Half the way across the old north bridge
She takes my hand and says
"Darlin', let's see how far away we get
From mercy, from mercy . . ."
