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
