Classic Country Music Fans--Who did this??

Who met a little girl in Knoxville and what happened? Title and artrist please. Thanks

I met a little girl in knox..... he picked a stick up
(Did'nt he kill her?)

Louvin Bros

Are those the clues?

The Louvin Brothers, I think, were the best known for this song. It has been recorded by many other artists such as Nick Cave, Elvis Costello, and The Wilburn Bros. I like this song because I was born in Knoxville and raised there. My dad used to sing this song all the time. Of course, he never sang the whole song, so I didn't know about the killing.

I met a little girl in Knoxville
A town we all know well
And every Sunday evening
Out 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 knocked that fair girl down

She fell down on her bended knees
For mercy she did cry
Oh Willy dear, don't kill me here
I'm not prepared to die

She never spoke another word
I only beat her more
Until the ground around me
Within her blood did flow



I took her by her golden curls
I dragged her round and round
Then threw her in the river
That flows through Knoxville town

Go there, go there, you Knoxville girl
With dark and roving eyes
Go there, go there, you Knoxville girl
You can never be my wife

I rolled and tumbled the whole night through
My dreams were living hell
And then they came from Knoxville
And carried me to jail

I'm here to waste my life away
And time is passing slow
Because I killed that Knoxville girl
The girl that I loved so

his name was Willie and he killed her because she had roving eyes, It was Knoxville Girl by the Louvin Brothers
