[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
