knoxville girl

• bi adet nick cave and the bad seeds şarkısı:
  
  i met a little girl in knoxville
  a town we all know well
  and every sunday evening
  in her home i'd dwell
  we went to take an evening walk
  about a mile from town
  i picked a stick up off the ground
  and i knocked that fair girl down
  she fell down on her bended knees
  for mercy she did cry
  "oh willy, dear, don't kill me yet
  i'm unprepared to die"
  she never spoke another word
  i only beat her more
  until the ground around me
  with her blood did flow
  i took her by her golden curls
  and i dragged her 'round and 'round
  throwing her into the river
  that flows from knoxville town
  go down, go down, you knoxville girl
  with your dark and roving eyes
  go down, go down, you knoxville girl
  you can never be my bride
  i started back to knoxville
  got there about midnight
  my mother, she was worried
  she woke up in a fright
  saying, "dear son, what have you done
  to bloody up your clothes?"
  i told my anxious mother
  that i was bleading in my nose
  i called for me a candle
  and i called for me a bed
  and i called for me a handkerchief
  to bind my aching head
  i rolled and thrashed the whole night through
  all horrors i did see
  the devil stood at the foot of my bed
  pointing his finger at me
  they carried me down to knoxville
  and put me in a cell
  my friends all tried to get me out
  but none could grow my bail
  i'm here to waste my life away
  down in this dirty old jail
  because i murdered that knoxville girl
  the girl i loved so well

• nick cave tarafindan alman rock agziyla soylenen garip bir sarki. hatta arkada gitara basip duran adamin basinda tuylu bir bavyera sapkasi var sanki. güzel bir tarantino film müzigi olur gibi.
