         D          Bm          G             D
     Now I remember very well a tale my daddy used to tell
      G              D                 A 
     About old Simon Crutchfield and a friend
         D            Bm              G                D
     Now Mary was his pretty wife and they loved every breath of life
       G                  A            D
     Before they took ol' Riley Harper in

     Now Simon plowed and worked the fields and Mary cooked their meals
     While Riley kept an eye out on the place
     Still no one knows just when this episode came to an end
     They only knew of Simon Crutchfield's grave

     [ G              D                                  ]
     [ You should be ashamed                             ]
     [     G                 D                 A         ]
     [ Get on your knees and pray your soul be saved     ]
     [       Bm                                          ]
     [ Riley Harper (Riley Harper)                       ]
     [        G           D                              ]
     [ If the devil is to blame                          ]
     [     G                  A                   D      ]
     [ Why can't you drive by Simon Crutchfield's grave? ]


     In the year of eighteen sixty four, a blizzard came across the moor
     And all the crops were sold out, none was saved
     And the only way to get to town was a wagon road that wound around
     And through the woods past Simon Crutchfield's grave

     Now some folks say that they lay there at least six months or more
     Before an old fur trapper found their bones
     He claimed they wrote their epitaphs upon the cabin door
     Just as it reads today on marble stone

     [ Mary Crutchfield (Mary Crutchfield)                  ]
     [ Here lies Mary Crutchfield                           ]
     [ Cause she betrayed the love that Simon gave          ]
     [ Riley Harper (Riley Harper)                          ]
     [ Here lies Riley Harper                               ]
     [ Cause he couldn't drive by Simon Crutchfield's grave ]
