G D7
Carroll County’s pointed out as kind of square
G
The biggest thing that happens is the county fair
D7
I guess that’s why it seemed like such a big event
G
What we all call the Carroll County accident
D7
The wreck was on the highway just inside the line
G
Walter Browning lost his life and for a time
D7
It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die
G
But she lived long enough for her to testify
D7
Walter Browning was a happy married man
G
And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand
D7
But it was gone nobody knew just where it went
G
He lost it in the Carroll County accident
D7
Mary Ellen testified he flagged her down
G
Said he was sick and could she drive him into town
D7
No one even doubted what she said was true
G
Cause she was well respected in the county too
D7
I went down to see the wreck like all the rest
G
The bloody seats the broken glass the tangled mess
D7
But I found something no one else had even seen
G
Behind the dash in Mary’s crumpled up machine
D7
А little match box circled by a rubber band
G
And inside the ring from Walter Browning’s hand
D7
It took awhile to figure out just what it meant
G
The truth about the Carroll County accident
D7
By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well
G
And took a sacred oath that I would never tell
D7
The truth about the Carroll County accident
G
Cause the county ordered dad a marble monument
D7 G
I lost him in the Carroll County accident
