Song Description

You cannot get away with murder in Carroll County

Lyrics

Carroll County

Ole Ramsey had a little shack, on a lost and lonely gravel track
On the fringes of the world, in Carroll County
Ramsey worked and he lived alone, but he never bothered anyone.
Few knew the old man lived out in the county.

At night he went alone, out in the woods where the full moon shone.
And buried jars of change, and folding money.
Well, he kept his cash, and he kept it hid, like people from the country did.
Least some old folks out in Carroll County.

One dark pitchin, quite night a GMC with no headlights, rolled slowly down that road in Carroll County.
Two teenage boys parked down that track, and they snuck on up there to the shack, on the fringes of the world of Carroll County

When Ramsey woke they had him held, one boy spoke up and then he yelled, Hey old man don?t go tryin nothin funny. But a nervous finger pulled to hard, a .38 made a still night jar. No chance was had to say, ?Hey, where?s the money??

Old Sheriff, John Brown got the call, and he stopped that GMC that?s all.
The story never made the local papers. One teenage boy was never found, some folks say that he?s in the ground on the fringes of the world in Carroll County.

Well, the second boy that they say held the gun, shot poor Ramsey down, had run, but there?s no place much to go in Carroll County.
Well, they found that boy with both hands tied, and they called it all a suicide.
You know the law don?t take much time in Carol county.
You know the law don?t waste no time in Carol county.
