Carroll County's pointed out as kind of square
G C
The biggest thing that happens is the county fair
C G
I guess that's why we thought it such a big event
G C
What we call the Carroll County accident
C G
The wreck was on the highway just inside the line
G C
Walter Browning lost his life and for a time
C G
It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die
G C
But she lived long enough for her to testify
C G
Walter Browning was a happy married man
G C
And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand
C G
But it was gone, nobody knew just where it went
G C
He lost it in the Carroll County accident
D A
Mary Ellen testified that he flagged her down
A D
Said he was sick and could she drive him into town
D A
No one even doubted what she said was true
A D
'Cause she was well respected in the county too
D A
I went down to see the wreck like all the rest
A D
The bloody seats, the broken glass, the tangled mess
D A
But I found something no one else had even seen
A D
Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine
E B7
A little match box circled by a rubber band
B7 E
And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand
E B7
It took awhile to figure out just what it meant
B7 E
The truth about the Carroll County accident
E B7
By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well
B7 E
And took a sacred oath that I would never tell
E B7
The truth about the Carroll County accident
B7 E
Cause the County ordered dad a marble monument
B7 E
Yes, I lost him in the Carroll County accident
