Carroll County Accident
Recorded by Porter Wagoner
Written by Bob Ferguson
C G7
Carroll County's pointed out as kind of square
C
The biggest thing that happens is the county fair
G7
I guess that's why it seemed like such a big event
C
What we all call the Carroll County accident
G7
The wreck was on the highway just inside the line
C
Walter Browning lost his life and for a time
G7
It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die
C
But she lived long enough for her to testify
G7
Walter Browning was a happy married man
C
And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand
G7
But it was gone nobody knew just where it went
C
He lost it in the Carroll County accident
G7
Mary Ellen testified he flagged her down
C
Said he was sick and could she drive him into town
G7
No one even doubted what she said was true
C
Cause she was well respected in the county too
G7
I went down to see the wreck like all the rest
C
The bloody seats the broken glass the tangled mess
G7
But I found something no one else had even seen
C
Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine
G7
A little match box circled by a rubber band
C
And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand
G7
It took awhile to figure out just what it meant
C
The truth about the Carroll County accident
G7
By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well
C
And took a sacred oath that I would never tell
G7
The truth about the Carroll County accident
C
Cause the county ordered dad a marble monument
G7 C
I lost him in the Carroll County accident
