Oxford Tragedy (Traditional version )
Cave Nick
Once there was a little tailor boy About sixteen years of age; My father hired me to a miller That I might learn the trade.
I fell in love with a Knoxville girl, Her name was Flora Dean. Her rosy cheeks, her curly hair, I really did admire.
Her father he persuaded me To take Flora for a wife; The devil he persuaded me To take Flora's life.

I returned back to my miller's house About nine o'clock at night, But little did my miller know What I had been about.
The miller turned around and about, Said:' Johnny, what blooded your clothes?' Me being so apt to take a hint: By bleeding at the nose.
About nine or ten days after that, Little Flora she was found A-floating down by her father's house Who lived in Knoxville town.
