CARROLL COUNTY ACCIDENT

by Porter Wagnor

Carroll county's pointed out as kind of square

The biggest thing that happens is the county fair

I guess that's why we thought it such a big event

What we all call the Carroll county accident

The wreck was on the highway just outside 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

Mary Ellen testified he'd flagged her down

Said he was sick and could she drive him into town

No one ever 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 broken glass,the bloody seats,the tangled mess

But I found something no one else had even seen

Begin the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine

A little match box circled by a rubber band

And inside the ring from Walter Brownings hand

It took awhile 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

For the County ordered dad a marble monument

Yes,I lost him in the Carroll County accident
