[Verse 1]
G
It's been five years come this autumn, She remembers well the day 
    F                         C              G
The day the fever got him and took him far a way
G
Far away from always knowin' that the love they shared was true
      F                        C           G
Far a way the fiddlers bowin' "Grass River Blues"
G
It was in the dead of winter when her man first caught the chill
       F                                  C            G
It was said he heard the angels singin' " Cabin On the Hill"
G
Through the springtime he was groanin' "maybe time to pass and go"
       F                               C                 G
By the summer she was moanin' Good Old Lover please come home
[Chorus]
        C                                 G
Now she stands out in the midnight in the moonlight all aglow
    C                                  G
She prays to Carter Stanley, won't you please tell Bill Monroe
           C                              G
I'd rather be in some dark hollow or some dark, deep shady grove
        F                     C      G
Than to be a Bluegrass widow, oh, oh oh
[Verse 2]
          G
Will you miss me when I'm gone were his final words to her
        F                                C                   G
Darlin' think of what you've done then replied his Knoxville girl
G
And the leaves had started turnin when his mind began to fail
        F                                 C                  G
Then he broke down in a breakdown now she wears a Long Black Veil
[Chorus]
        C                                 G
Now she stands out in the midnight in the moonlight all aglow
    C                                  G
She prays to Carter Stanley, won't you please tell Bill Monroe
           C                              G
I'd rather be in some dark hollow or some dark, deep shady grove
        F                     C      G
Than to be a Bluegrass widow, oh, oh oh
[Chorus]
        C                                 G
Now she stands out in the midnight in the moonlight all aglow
    C                                  G
She prays to Carter Stanley, won't you please tell Bill Monroe
           C                              G
I'd rather be in some dark hollow or some dark, deep shady grove
        F                     C      G
Than to be a Bluegrass widow, oh, oh oh
