[Verse 1]
GIt's been five years come this autumn, She remembers well the day
The Fday the fever got him and Ctook him far a Gway
GFar away from always knowin' that the love they shared was true
Far a Fway the fiddlers bowin' "CGrass River GBlues"
GIt was in the dead of winter when her man first caught the chill
It was Fsaid he heard the angels singin' " CCabin On the GHill"
GThrough the springtime he was groanin' "maybe time to pass and go"
By the Fsummer she was moanin' Good Old CLover please come Ghome
[Chorus]
Now she Cstands out in the midnight in the Gmoonlight all aglow
She Cprays to Carter Stanley, won't you Gplease tell Bill Monroe
I'd rather Cbe in some dark hollow or some Gdark, deep shady grove
Than to Fbe a Bluegrass widow, Coh, oh Goh
[Verse 2]
Will you mGiss me when I'm gone were his final words to her
Darlin' Fthink of what you've done then reCplied his Knoxville Ggirl
GAnd the leaves had started turnin when his mind began to fail
Then he Fbroke down in a breakdown now she Cwears a Long Black GVeil
[Chorus]
Now she Cstands out in the midnight in the Gmoonlight all aglow
She Cprays to Carter Stanley, won't you Gplease tell Bill Monroe
I'd rather Cbe in some dark hollow or some Gdark, deep shady grove
Than to Fbe a Bluegrass widow, Coh, oh Goh
[Chorus]
Now she Cstands out in the midnight in the Gmoonlight all aglow
She Cprays to Carter Stanley, won't you Gplease tell Bill Monroe
I'd rather Cbe in some dark hollow or some Gdark, deep shady grove
Than to Fbe a Bluegrass widow, Coh, oh Goh
