          LONG BLACK VEIL by 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 the all agreed
That the slayer who ran,looked a lot like 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 met my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife

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

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're my bones

Repeat chorus

Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson Long Black Veil (1993)
Johnny is waiting and looking and waiting - maybe Kris was late?? They were so great together ... The way they were looking at each other all over the song, just lovely. Kris' guitar looks like the old one in Cisco Pike.
