This gangster rap is too violent.

My grandfather used to sing me this, along with other murder ballads, when I was a young child.

@veldtkornet The only hint of a clue was when he says "dark and roving eyes",that sounds like he found she was unfaithful.

I think he beats her with his hands and throws her in a river

I think it's kinda funny that they were given the opportunity to record "Heartbreak Hotel" but they found it to be "strange and almost morbid". But recording "Knoxville Girl" would somehow be better? lol this is a real great version of the song though, first time I've ever heard of this duo

As a 7 year old in Knoxvile in the1960's, I remember watching The Bonnie Lou and Buster Show before my morning cartoons and their rendition of this song. I couldn't understand how they could sing so melodically about a girl's brutal murder...a little traumatizing. I told family about it...no one had ever heard of the song. I looked for it for years and it wasn't until the Lemonheads remade the song that my memory which everyone had questioned, was validated. It is still a little creepy.

Nick Cave does an awesome version of this. I didn't even think to look up the original until i was looking up doc watson and bill monroe and i saw Knoxville girl on the suggested videos list

Maybe it's just because I'm a woman, but the thought of being beaten to death with a stick and then dragged around by my hair and thrown in a lake is a sobering one. The irony of it being set to major chords is the icing on the cake.

More like he is thinking of getting the music right and playing professionally. You read way more into the performers here and to be frank you're doing so says more about you than they.
