Girl From Knoxville
Smoky mountain maiden
Caught up in the quiet
Just this side of Rockwood
Nearin' Eastern Standard Time
I got a change of old blue jeans
And money in my pocket
Tonight I'll hold her closer than the locket
That she's wearin'
And so I'm gone to see the girl from Knoxville
I just called and she said she will
Wait there in the door with outstretched arms
So if my friends should call or come by
Please tell them "hi"
And that I'll be back if I'm back at all
By Monday, and if I'm not, please send me down
All I own in care of the girl from Knoxville town
I'll bathe her in a mountain stream
And dress her lace and leather slippers
And let the light from the Big Dipper
Be a halo for her hair
And in a bed of earth and leaves
My arms shall be her blanket
I think it's here that I may just wanna stay forever
And so I'm gone to see the girl from Knoxville
I just called and she said she will
Wait there in the door with outstretched arms
So if my friends should call or come by
Please tell them "hi"
And that I'll be back if I'm back at all
By Monday, and if I'm not, please send me down
All I own in care of the girl from Knoxville town
Now this is a song so she'll know how much I love her
Caught up in the quiet
Just this side of Rockwood
Nearin' Eastern Standard Time
I got a change of old blue jeans
And money in my pocket
Tonight I'll hold her closer than the locket
That she's wearin'
And so I'm gone to see the girl from Knoxville
I just called and she said she will
Wait there in the door with outstretched arms
So if my friends should call or come by
Please tell them "hi"
And that I'll be back if I'm back at all
By Monday, and if I'm not, please send me down
All I own in care of the girl from Knoxville town
I'll bathe her in a mountain stream
And dress her lace and leather slippers
And let the light from the Big Dipper
Be a halo for her hair
And in a bed of earth and leaves
My arms shall be her blanket
I think it's here that I may just wanna stay forever
And so I'm gone to see the girl from Knoxville
I just called and she said she will
Wait there in the door with outstretched arms
So if my friends should call or come by
Please tell them "hi"
And that I'll be back if I'm back at all
By Monday, and if I'm not, please send me down
All I own in care of the girl from Knoxville town
Now this is a song so she'll know how much I love her
