Crooked Fingers Long Black Veil

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 killer who ran, looked a lot like me

The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you will not have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife

Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me

(Harmonica and Guitar)

The scaffold was high, and eternity near
She stood in the crowd, and she shed not a tear
Oh some times at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
Nobody knows, but me
