Song: “Long Black Veil”

Quote:

Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity’s near.

She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear.

But late at night, when the north wind blows,

In a long black veil, she cries o'er 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.
