《The Carroll County Accident》歌词

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

[00:00:11] Carroll County's pointed out as kinda square

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

[00:00:21] I guess that's why it seems like such a big event

[00:00:27] What we all call the Carroll County accident

[00:00:32] The wreck was on the highway just inside the line

[00:00:37] Walter Browning lost his life and for a time

[00:00:42] It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die

[00:00:47] But she lived long enough for her to testify

[00:00:53] Walter Browning was a happy married man

[00:00:58] And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand

[00:01:03] But it was gone nobody knew just where it went

[00:01:08] He lost it in the Carroll County accident

[00:01:14] Mary Ellen testified he flagged her down

[00:01:18] Said he was sick and could she drive him into town

[00:01:24] No one even doubted what she said was true

[00:01:29] 'Cause she was well respected in the county too

[00:01:34] I went down to see the wreck like all the rest

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

[00:01:45] But I found something no one else had even seen

[00:01:50] Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine

[00:01:58] A little matchbox circled by a rubber band

[00:02:03] And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand

[00:02:08] It took a while to figure out just what it meant

[00:02:13] The truth about the Carroll County accident

[00:02:18] By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well

[00:02:24] And took a sacred oath that I would never tell

[00:02:29] The truth about the Carroll County accident

[00:02:34] 'Cause the county ordered Dad a marble monument

[00:02:39] I lost him in the Carroll County accident
