lyrics

Knoxville Girl (traditional)
I met a little girl in Knoxville
A town we all know so well
And every Sunday evening
Out to her home I'd go

We went to take an evening walk
About a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the ground
And knocked that fair girl down

I took her by her golden curls
And I drug her 'round and 'round
I threw her into the river
That flows through this Knoxville town

Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl
With the dark and roving eyes
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl
You’ll never be my bride

Rolled and tumbled the whole night through
As troubles were for me
Like flames of hell around my bed
And in my eyes to see

I'm here to waste my life away
Down in this dirty old cell
Because I murdered that Knoxville girl
A girl I loved so well

American Sinner Maryland

American Sinner is a rock n' roll stiletto switchblade dance along the edge of a knife that opens up for stabbing. They are not your run-of-the-mill musical tricksters in harlequin unitards holding bouquets of flowers behind their backs. No!...they got it all -manliness like Bowie and femininity like Tina Turner. They got it all so when these boys are randy to rock, you better let 'em. ... more
