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