The fog rolls in the morning   And I can hardly find my way   Home to where the heart is    That words can't begin to say   Enough about the gentle way   You always take me in   The long and narrow one way roads    Got to take me home again      Go down, go down to Knoxville, girl   With that dark and roving eye   Go down, go down to Knoxville, girl   Cause I know you'll never be my bride      I met a little girl down in Knoxville town   And I've known her well   Feelin' good like I should   Into her love I fell   The night was long   She lay there by my side   We made love and in her arms   She keeps me satisfied      Chorus      Chorus      So on it goes   And no one knows   Where heartache ever ends   Trouble friend, you'll get exactly what it lends   The time is come    To steal my love from me   In this pain, I will remain   And sing this misery      Chorus
