You know,while everybody from Tipper Gore to G.Gordon Liddy raises Hell and sticks a chunk under it about Gangsta Rap with it's violent lyrics,if they'd give a listen to these old'Murder Ballads'from Ireland and Scotland,they'd be in for a shock!!!

"The Knoxville Girl" is an Appalachian murder ballad. It is derived from the 19th century Irish ballad The Wexford Girl, itself derived from the earlier English ballad "The Oxford Girl". Other versions are known as the "Waxweed Girl", "The Wexford Murder". These are in turn derived from Elizabethan era poem or broadside ballad, The Cruel Miller

Although the lyrics are less explicit than those for The Wexford Girl, the song is generally considered to be creepier or spookier in its rendition.
