Song: Long Black Veil
Singer: Johnny Cash

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

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

thou it meant my life

I'd been in the arms of

my best friend's wife

Did I hear someone applaud

Now the scaffold is high

and eternity's near

She stood in the crowd

and shed not a tear

But sometimes at night

when the north wind moans

In a long black veil

she cries ov're 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

huh Alright

Lemme have a

have a drink of water

I'm about to choke up

That's cocaine blues

We got a special surprise for

you fellas

And especially for one fella

In a few minutes

we're going to record a brand

new song that

I just sang last night

for the first time

It was written by someone

here in Folsom prison

Can I have a drink of water

Last time last time I was here

I had a drink of water

And uh I don't know

what the hell it run off

I think it must have run off

Luther's boots or something

Is that water

You promise that's water huh

Is that water bob That's water

Serve everything in tin cups

He caught it didn't he

I have an announcement here
