Lefty Frizzell - Long black veil

^ETen years ago, on a cold dark night, there was ^Bsomeone killed 'neath the ^Atown hall ^Elight. ^EThere were few were at the scene, but they all agreed, that the ^Bslayer who ran looked a ^Alot like ^Eme.

^EThe judge said, 'Son, what is your alibi? If you were ^Bsomewhere else then you ^Awon't have to ^Edie.' ^EI spoke not a word though it meant my life, for I had ^Bbeen in the arms of my ^Abest friend's ^Ewife.

She ^Awalks these ^Ehills, in a ^Along black ^Eveil. She ^Avisits my ^Egrave, when the ^Anight winds ^Ewail. ^ENobody knows, ^Anobody ^Esees..^Anobody ^Bknows, but ^Eme.

^EThe scaffold is high, and eternity nears.. she ^Bstood in the crowd and ^Ashed not a ^Etear. ^EBut sometimes at night when the cold wind blows, in a ^Blong black veil, she ^Acries o'er my ^Ebones.

She ^Awalks these ^Ehills, in a ^Along black ^Eveil. She ^Avisits my ^Egrave, when the ^Anight winds ^Ewail. ^ENobody knows, ^Anobody ^Esees..^Anobody ^Bknows, but ^Eme.

^ANobody ^Bknows but ^Eme...^Anobody ^Bknows but ^Eme. (Fade.)
