Jim Lauderdale - Louisville Roll lyrics

I'm on a Louisville roll, going down, down, down Down to the Ohio, just to knock around You know I met a girl from Knoxville Town She had bright red curls and her eyes were brown I fell in love at first sight, yes I saw the light But she did not agree, laughed at me, oh no This story has been told before Since days before the silver war I'm just a poor lost soul, on a Louisville roll The only girl who touched my heart She took and tore it all apart I'm just a poor lost soul, on a Louisville roll I loved a girl from Knoxville Town, from Knoxville, Tennessee Don't know why she did not love me All my life I could not see I just know she broke my heart Broke it for the very first time Go down you Knoxville girl, you cannot be mine you cannot be mine You cannot be mine
