By the ^Fsummer she was moanin' Good Old ^CLover please come ^Ghome [Chorus] Now she ^Cstands out in the midnight in the ^Gmoonlight all aglow She ^Cprays to Carter Stanley, won't you ^Gplease tell Bill Monroe I'd rather ^Cbe in some dark hollow or some ^Gdark, deep shady grove Than to ^Fbe a Bluegrass widow, ^Coh, oh ^Goh

Will you m^Giss me when I'm gone were his final words to her Darlin' ^Fthink of what you've been to me re ^Cplied his Knoxville ^Ggirl

Then he ^Fbroke down in a breakdown now she ^Cwears a long black ^Gveil Chorus, Twice through to end
