[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
