The Carroll County Accident - Dolly Parton (多莉·帕顿)[00:00:00]
Written by:Bob Ferguson[00:00:01]
Carroll county's pointed out as kind of square[00:00:11]
The biggest thing that happens is the County fair[00:00:17]
And I guess that's why it seemed like such a big event[00:00:22]
What we all call the carroll county accident[00:00:27]
The wreck was on the highway just inside the line[00:00:33]
Walter browning lost his life and for a time[00:00:39]
It seemed that mary ellen jones would surely die[00:00:44]
But she lived long enough for her to testify[00:00:50]
Now walter browning was a happy married man[00:00:55]
And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand[00:01:00]
But it was gone nobody knew just where it went[00:01:06]
Hed lost it in the carroll county accident[00:01:12]
Mary ellen testified he flagged her down[00:01:18]
Said he was sick and could she drive him into town[00:01:23]
And no one even doubted what she said was true[00:01:28]
'Cause she was well respected in the county too[00:01:34]
Now I went down to see the wreck like all the rest[00:01:40]
The bloody seats the broken glass the tangled mess[00:01:45]
But I found something no one else had even seen[00:01:51]
Behind the dash in marys crumpled up machine[00:01:56]
A little matchbox circled by a rubberband[00:02:02]
And inside the ring from walter brownings hand[00:02:07]
And it took a while to figure out just what it meant[00:02:13]
The truth about the carroll county accident[00:02:19]
By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well[00:02:24]
And I took a sacred oath that I would never tell[00:02:29]
The secret of the carroll county accident[00:02:35]
'Cause the county ordered dad a marble monument[00:02:40]
I lost him in the carroll county accident[00:02:46]
