The Outlaws

The Outlaws (Southern Rock Band) released “Waterhole” in 1975. Instrumental

The Song Knoxville Girl was release on the Album Outlaws that was the debut studio album by American southern rock band Outlaws, released in 1975. It was track 4 on side two. The album is known for the rock classic "Green Grass & High Tides", which is considered by many to be one of the greatest guitar songs, plus the hit single "There Goes Another Love Song". Drawing influences from southern rock bands the Allman Brothers Band & Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as folk rock and country rock bands such as the Byrds, Poco, Eagles, and New Riders of the Purple Sage, the band developed a unique, hard-driving country rock sound, due in part to the fast picking, quasi-country style guitar playing of Hughie Thomasson, coupled with their use of three and four part harmonies and incorporation of elements of bluegrass music. The band was also notable for featuring three different front men: Thomasson, Henry Paul, and Billy Jones, all of whom wrote and provided lead vocals. Paul's vocals and his self-penned tracks "Song in the Breeze", "Stay with Me" and "Knoxville Girl" brought a strong country flavor to the album, while Jones teamed with Thomasson to provide a hard driving Southern Rock guitar sound focused on dueling guitar lines. Lyrics: The fog rolls in the morning And I can hardly find my way Along to where the heart is Words can't begin to say Enough about the gentle way You always take me in That long and narrow one-way road's Got to take me home again Go down, go down Knoxville girl With that dark and rovin' eye Go down, go down Knoxville girl 'Cause I know You'll never be my bride I met a little girl in Knoxville County I'd known her well Feelin' good like I should And to her love I felt Time was long she lay there by my side Held me close within her arms And kept me statisfied Go down, go down Knoxville girl With that dark and rovin' eye Go down, go down Knoxville girl 'Cause I know You'll never be my bride Go down, go down Knoxville girl With that dark and rovin' eye Go down, go down Knoxville girl 'Cause I know You'll never be my bride So on it goes and no one knows Why heartache never ends Above all that you will get Exactly what it lends Time has come to steal my love from me In this pain I will remain And sing this misery Go down, go down Knoxville girl With that dark and rovin' eye Go down, go down Knoxville girl 'Cause I know You'll never be my bride

Lyrics: Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky began to fall You can see his shadow in the light of the moon They had heard the gypsies' call She had hair as black as darkness, eyes of emerald green Oh, her voice was soft and tender, oooh she loved sing She will sing no more, or dance again or shake her tambourines They had taken her away, she was dead and gone, hear the gypsies sing Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) Ooh, hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) Hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) Ooh, hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) Silver devils in his holsters, stars strapped to his heels There was fire in his eyes, they say that he was dressed to kill He had hands as fast as lightning, a heart as cold as steel He had come for the one that took her life, to lie him in Boot Hill Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky began to fall You can see their shadows in the light of the moon They had heard the gypsies' call Ooh, hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown

Lyrics: Sometimes I feel like I'm getting kinda low Thoughts that I'm thinkin' are the reason So I try to remember without talkin' to myself Things that I said or maybe things that I felt about you Sittin' in a corner of a crowded bar room People all around me and I still feel alone Just when I know I'm gonna break down and cry Someone played a tune that dried the tear from my eye There goes another love song Someone singin' about me again There goes another love song Now I need more than a friend Lonesome and lonely, far from my home Tryin' to get back to where I know I belong Wishin' and hopin' I was already there I just heard a voice whispered in my ear, singin' There goes another love song Someone singin' about me again There goes another love song Now I need more than a friend There goes another love song Someone singin' about me again There goes another love song Now I need it more than a friend There goes another love song Someone singin' about me again There goes another love song Now I need more than a friend

"Green Grass & High Tides" In a place you only dream of Where your soul is always free Silver stages, golden curtains Filled my head, plain as can be As a rainbow grew around the sun All the stars above who died came from Somewhere beyond the scene you see These lovely people played just for me Now if I let you see this place Where stories all ring true Will you let me past your face To see what's really you It's not for me I ask this question As though I were a king For you have to love, believe, and feel Before the burst of tambourines take you there Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone, souls and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you Those who don't believe me Find your souls and set them free Those who do, believe and know This time will be your key Time and time again I've thanked them For a peace of mind That helped me find myself Amongst the music and the rhyme That enchants you there Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone, souls and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you Yeah, they play just for you
