The Long Black Veil (Live)

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me

The Judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

(And I hear somebody applaud)

Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
But some times at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me

(Can I have a glass of water?)

(Ah alright
Let me have a have a drink of water I'm about to choke up
That's Cocaine Blues bug on me)

(We got a special surprise for you fellas was specially for one fella
In a few minutes we are going to record a brand new song
That I just sang last night for the first time
Was written by somebody here in Folsom Prison
Can I have a drink of water?
Last time last time I was here how to drink a water
And I don't know what I heard it run off
I think it must have run off of the loser's boots or something)

(Check the well you'll get some water come on)
(Is that water?)
(Aye is water)
(You promise us water ha)
(Gear all up Gary)
(Is that water Bob?
Ahu that's water
Is that everything in ten cups)
(Got it ooohho)
(He got it didn't he?)

(I have an announcement here Sandoval
S-A-N-D-O-V-A-L, 88419 is wanted in reception)
