[D]
Well, I remember [Bm]
very well [G] a tale my daddy [D]
used to tell
[G] About old Simon [D]
Crutchfield [A] and a friend.
[D] Now Mary [Bm] was his pretty wife, [G] and they loved [D] every breath of life
[G] Before they took [A] old Riley Harper [D] in.
Now Simon [A] [Bm] plowed and worked the fields, [G] and Mary [D] cooked their meals

across the moor

[D] And the only [Bm] way to get to town [G] was a wagging road

[G] Before [Em] an [D] old bird trapper [A] found their bones
[D] He claimed they wrote [Bm]
their [G] epitaph upon the cabin [D] door
