It’s been five years come this autumn, she remembers well the day
          F                                                                    C                                 G  
The day the fever got him, and took him far away
             G  
Far away from always knowing that the love they shared was true
             F                                                                            C                                 G  
Far away the fiddler’s bowing, the grass forever blue
                  G  
It was in the dead of winter when her man first caught the chill
                  F                                                                                      C                              G  
And he said he heard the angels singing “Cabin on the Hill”
                                G  
Through the springtime he was groaning “The good times are past and gone”
                  F                                                                      C                                            G  
By the summer she was moaning “Old lover please come home”
                     C                                                                                      G  
Now she stands out in the midnight in the moonlight all aglow
          C                                                                                         G  
She prays to Carter Stanley “Won’t you please tell Bill Monroe
                  C                                                                              G  
Rather be in some dark hollow or some dark deep shady grove
I started listening to bluegrass music in Bryan Duckworth’s rust red 1970 Ford
