《The Carroll County Accident》歌词

[00:02:44] The Carroll County Accident - Porter Wagoner

[00:02:44] Carroll County's pointed out as kinda square

[00:02:44] The biggest thing that happens is the county fair

[00:02:44] I guess that's why it seems like such a big event

[00:02:44] What we all call the Carroll County accident

[00:02:44] The wreck was on the highway just inside the line

[00:02:44] Walter Browning lost his life and for a time

[00:02:44] It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die

[00:02:44] But she lived long enough for her to testify

[00:02:44] Walter Browning was a happy married man

[00:02:44] And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand

[00:02:44] But it was gone nobody knew just where it went

[00:02:44] He lost it in the Carroll County accident

[00:02:44] Mary Ellen testified he flagged her down

[00:02:44] Said he was sick and could she drive him into town

[00:02:44] No one even doubted what she said was true

[00:02:44] 'Cause she was well respected in the county too

[00:02:44] I went down to see the wreck like all the rest

[00:02:44] The bloody seats the broken glass the tangled mess

[00:02:44] But I found something no one else had even seen

[00:02:44] Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine

[00:02:44] A little matchbox circled by a rubber band

[00:02:44] And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand

[00:02:44] It took a while to figure out just what it meant

[00:02:44] The truth about the Carroll County accident

[00:02:44] By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well

[00:02:44] And took a sacred oath that I would never tell

[00:02:44] The truth about the Carroll County accident

[00:02:44] 'Cause the county ordered Dad a marble monument

[00:02:44] I lost him in the Carroll County accident
