Carroll County's pointed out as

kinda square

The biggest thing that happens

is the county fair

I guess that's why it seemes like

such a big event

What we all call the Carroll

County accident

The wreck was on the highway

just inside the line

Walter browning lost his life

and for a time

It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones

would surely die

But she lived long enough for her

to testify

Now walter browning was a happy

married man

And he wore a golden wedding ring

upon his hand

But it was gone nobody knew

just where it went

He lost it in the Carroll

County accident

Mary Ellen testified

he flagged her down

Said he was sick and

could she drive him into town

And no one even doubted what she

said was true

Cause she was well respected in the

county too

I went down to see the wreck like

all the rest

The bloody seats the broken glass

the tangled mess

But I found something no one else

had even seen

Behind the dash in Mary's

crumpled up machine

A little matchbox circled

by a rubber band

And inside the ring from walter

browning's hand

It took a while to figure out

just what it meant

The truth about the Carroll

County accident

By dark of night

I dropped the ring into a well

And took a sacred oath

that I would never tell

The truth about the Carroll

County accident

Cause the county

ordered dead a marble monument

I lost him in the Carroll

County accident
