[00:02.00] Rosanne Cash - Long Black Veil
[00:03.00]
[00:06.34] Ten years ago on a cold dark night
[00:13.30] Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
[00:20.06] There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
[00:26.61] That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
[00:36.05] The Judge said, "Son, what is your alibi
[00:42.78] If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"
[00:49.51] I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
[00:56.30] For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife
[02:10.68][01:04.62] She walks these hills, in a long black veil
[02:18.79][01:13.59] She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
[02:41.89][02:27.97][01:24.99] Nobody knows, nobody sees
[02:48.91][02:35.10][01:31.36] Nobody knows, but me
[01:41.37] The scaffold is high, and eternity's near
[01:48.01] She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
[01:54.86] But some times at night, when the cold wind moans
[02:01.94] In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
