The Long Black Veil - Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - December 1969

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
