a tale my daddy used to tell

About old Simon Crutchfield and a friend

Before they took ol'

In the year of 1864,

a blizzard came across the moor,

and all the crops were sold out, the same.

And the only way to get to town
G

was a wagon road that wound around
G
Through the woods past

Simon Crutchfield's Grill
Now some folks say

that they lay there in peace

six months or more

Before an old fur trapper found their bones

He claimed they wrote their epitaph

On the skebbing board
G
Just as it reads today
A

Old Marble Stone
Bm
Mary Crutchfield

Here lies Mary Crutchfield,

cause she betrayed the love

that Simon gave.
