Porter Wagoner - Carroll county accident

^CCarroll County's pointed out as ^G7kinda of square The biggest thing that happens, is the^C county fair, I guess that's why it seemed like such a ^G7big event, What we all call the Carroll County ^Caccident.

^CThe wreck was on the highway just ^G7inside the line, Walter Browning lost his life, and ^Cfor a time It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would ^G7surely die, But she lived long enough for her to ^Ctestify.

^CWalter Browning was a happy ^G7married man, And he wore a golden wedding ring ^Cupon his hand, But it was gone, nobody knew just ^G7where it went, He lost it, in the Carroll County ^CAccident. ^{F A D}

^DMary Ellen testified that he ^Aflagged her down, Said he was sick, and could she drive him ^Dinto town, No one ever doubted what she ^Asaid was true, 'Cause she was well respected in the ^Dcounty too.

^DI went down to see the wreck like ^Aall the rest, The bloody seats, the broken glass, the ^Dtangled mess, But I found something no one else had ^Aeven seen, Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled ^Dup machine. ^{G B7 E}

^EA little match box circled by a ^B7rubber band, And inside the ring from Walter ^EBrowning's hand, It took awhile to figure out just ^B7what it meant, The truth about the Carroll County ^Eaccident.

^EBy dark of night I dropped the ring ^B7into a well, And took a sacred oath that I would ^Enever tell, The truth about the Carroll County ^B7accident, Cause the County ordered Dad a marble ^Emonument, I ^B7lost him in the Carroll County ^Eaccident. ^{A E}
