[00:00:00] The Carroll County Accident - Dolly Parton (多莉·帕顿)

[00:00:01] Written by：Bob Ferguson

[00:00:11] Carroll county's pointed out as kind of square

[00:00:17] The biggest thing that happens is the County fair

[00:00:22] And I guess that's why it seemed like such a big event

[00:00:27] What we all call the carroll county accident

[00:00:33] The wreck was on the highway just inside the line

[00:00:39] Walter browning lost his life and for a time

[00:00:44] It seemed that mary ellen jones would surely die

[00:00:50] But she lived long enough for her to testify

[00:00:55] Now walter browning was a happy married man

[00:01:00] And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand

[00:01:06] But it was gone nobody knew just where it went

[00:01:12] Hed lost it in the carroll county accident

[00:01:18] Mary ellen testified he flagged her down

[00:01:23] Said he was sick and could she drive him into town

[00:01:28] And no one even doubted what she said was true

[00:01:34] 'Cause she was well respected in the county too

[00:01:40] Now I went down to see the wreck like all the rest

[00:01:45] The bloody seats the broken glass the tangled mess

[00:01:51] But I found something no one else had even seen

[00:01:56] Behind the dash in marys crumpled up machine

[00:02:02] A little matchbox circled by a rubberband

[00:02:07] And inside the ring from walter brownings hand

[00:02:13] And it took a while to figure out just what it meant

[00:02:19] The truth about the carroll county accident

[00:02:24] By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well

[00:02:29] And I took a sacred oath that I would never tell

[00:02:35] The secret of the carroll county accident

[00:02:40] 'Cause the county ordered dad a marble monument

[00:02:46] I lost him in the carroll county accident
