I just looked at the song "Knoxville Girl" and that is not the one I remember at all. The one I learned as a child went something like this:

He grabbed her by her golden curls and dragged her round and round.
He threw her in the river that runs through Knoxville town.
Go there, go there you Knoxville girl, with hard and knowing eyes.
Go there, go there, you Knoxville girl, you will never be my bride

Am I too old or are these to "hills of Kentucky" for anyone to have heard of them...lol
Would love to know if you have ever heard this before..
Thanks Carolyn
