[00:31.31] It's a long lane, ain't got no end
[00:36.74] It's a long lane, ain't got no end
[00:42.02] It's a long lane ain't got no end
[00:47.20] And it's a bad wind that never change
[00:54.05] Lord, it's two white horses in a line
[01:00.11] Well, it's two white horses in a line
[01:05.41] Well, it's two white horses in a line

[01:40.40] Have you ever heard a coffin sound?

[02:32.95] Have you ever heard a church bell's tone?
