All of the murderers are named, WILLIE! (Oh Willie dear, don't kill me here, I'm not prepared to die) Knoxville girl, (I drew my knife, across her breast.... as into my arms she pressed.... she cried, oh Willie, don't you murder me.... I'm not prepared, for eternity!) Banks of the Ohio! (And now he waits at his cabin door...wiping his tear dimmed eyes, waiting for, Willie his son, upon the scaffold high) willow garden!
