The Long Black Veil (Bear’s Sonic Journals: Live At The Carousel Ballroom, April 24 1968)

[Intro]
Thank you

[Verse 1]
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
The Judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else, you won’t have to die"
I spoke not a word, though it mеant my life
I'd been in the arms of my best friеnd's wife
Now the scaffold seemed high, and eternity was near
She stood in the crowd, but she shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries on my bones

[Chorus]
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
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

[Outro]
Thank you, we had several requests to do this one again, and, um, and it you have any questions we’ll try to pull through, yeah, ok, ok, I will, I will, ok
