LONG BLACK VEIL (Dill/Wilkins) (Lefty Frizell cover)

"Long Black Veil" is a 1959 country ballad about a man suspected of murder. The alleged refuses to provide an alibi, because he was having an affair with his best friend's wife at the time, and would rather die than reveal this. Subsequently, he is executed by hanging, taking their secret to the grave. The chorus describes the woman's mourning visits to his gravesite in her long black veil. The song is sung from the point of view of the executed man.

Wonderful version! Everybody sounds great! That accordion always adds something special, and I love the sweet fiddle, especially the pizzicato part. ;)
