《The Carroll County Accident》歌词

[00:00:01] Carroll County Accident - Porter Wagoner

[00:00:11] Carroll County's pointed out

[00:00:13] As kind of square

[00:00:16] The biggest thing

[00:00:17] That happens is the county fair

[00:00:21] I guess that's why

[00:00:22] It seemed like such a big event

[00:00:27] What we all called

[00:00:28] The Carroll County Accident

[00:00:32] The wreck was on the highway

[00:00:34] Just inside the line

[00:00:37] Walter Browning lost his life

[00:00:40] And for a time

[00:00:42] It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones

[00:00:45] Would surely die

[00:00:48] But she lived long

[00:00:49] Enough for her to testify

[00:00:53] Now Walter Browning

[00:00:54] Was a happy married man

[00:00:58] He wore a golden wedding

[00:01:00] Ring upon his hand

[00:01:04] But it was gone nobody knew

[00:01:06] Just where it went

[00:01:09] He lost it in the Carroll County Accident

[00:01:14] Mary Ellen testified

[00:01:17] He flagged her down

[00:01:19] Said he was sick and could

[00:01:21] She drive him into town

[00:01:24] And no one even doubted

[00:01:27] What she said was true

[00:01:30] Cause she was well respected

[00:01:32] In the county too

[00:01:35] I went down to see

[00:01:37] The wreck like all the rest

[00:01:40] The bloody seats the broken glass

[00:01:43] The tangled mess

[00:01:46] But I found something

[00:01:47] No one else had even seen

[00:01:51] Behind the dash in Mary's

[00:01:54] Crumpled up machine

[00:01:59] A little matchbox circled

[00:02:01] By a rubber band

[00:02:04] And inside the ring from Walter

[00:02:07] Browning's hand

[00:02:10] It took a while to figure out

[00:02:12] Just what it meant

[00:02:15] The truth about

[00:02:16] The Carroll County Accident

[00:02:20] By dark of night

[00:02:22] I dropped the ring into a well

[00:02:26] And took a sacred oath

[00:02:28] That I would never tell

[00:02:31] The truth about

[00:02:32] The Carroll County Accident

[00:02:36] Cause the county ordered dad

[00:02:39] A marble monument

[00:02:41] I lost him in the Carroll County Accident
