Simon Crutchfield's Grave

Now I remember very well a tale my daddy used to tell

About old Simon Crutchfield and a friend

Now Mary was his pretty wife and they loved every breath of life

Before they took ol' Riley Harper inNow 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.Mary Crutchfield (Mary Crutchfield)

You should be ashamed

Get on your knees and pray your soul be saved

Riley Harper (Riley Harper)

If the devil is to blame

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 graveNow 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 stoneMary 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.
