[00:00.00]Long Black Veil - Robert Earl Keen
[00:13.74]Ten years ago on a cool dark night
[00:19.54]There was someone killed neath the town hall light
[00:27.78]There were few at the scene they all agree
[00:34.09]The man who ran looked a lot like me
[00:45.35]The judge said son what is your alibi
[00:51.17]If you were somewhere else
[00:54.80]Then you don't have to die
[00:59.72]I spoke not a word although it meant my life
[01:05.91]I was in the arms of my best friend's wife
[01:14.15]She walks these hills in a long black veil
[01:21.63]She visits my grave where the night winds wail
[01:30.48]Nobody knows nobody sees
[01:37.32]Nobody knows but me
[02:19.77]The sky froze high eternity neared
[02:25.98]She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
[02:34.09]But sometimes at night
[02:36.87]When the cold winds moans
[02:40.39]In a long black veil she cries over my bones
[02:48.43]She walks these hills in a long black veil
[02:56.24]She visits my grave
[02:59.61]Where the night winds wail
[03:08.13]Nobody knows nobody sees
[03:14.92]Nobody knows but me
[03:21.32]Nobody knows nobody sees
[03:27.71]Nobody knows but me
