Carroll County Accident - Porter Wagoner

Intro: C G7 C

#1
C G7
Carroll County's pointed out as kinda 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.

#2
C 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.

#3
C 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 F A D
He lost it, in the Carroll County Accident.

#4
D A
Mary Ellen testified that he flagged her down,
D
Said he was sick, and could she drive him into town,
A
No one ever doubted what she said was true,
D
'Cause she was well respected in the county too.

#5
D A
I went down to see the wreck like all the rest,
D
The bloody seats, the broken glass, the tangled mess,
A
But I found something no one else had even seen,
D G B7 E
Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine.

#6
E B7
A little match box circled by a rubber band,
E
And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand,
B7
It took awhile to figure out just what it meant,
E
The truth about the Carroll County accident.

#7
E B7
By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well,
E
And took a sacred oath that I would never tell,
B7
The truth about the Carroll County accident,
E
Cause the County ordered Dad a marble monument,
B7 E A E
I lost him in the Carroll County accident.
