I met me a gal  and we knocked around

But them Knoxville girls  can't leave me alone

In my suits so fine  and my bottle of corn.

On the public square  to Mayor Trent  

      E        D                          A 
But I met with trouble  on the tracks one night

       E      A           E     A 
With a wicked jab  from a razor blade  

        E     D                        A 
And the women screamed  as the bottles broke  

   E     A                 E         A 
On stony ground  where the blood did flow.

       E      A            E      A

      E       D                        A
