What is going on #SteemitUniverse?

Today I'm bringing you episode two of JGV Sings It.

This is my weekly exclusive that I upload to DLive.

I am hoping to go LIVE in the next couple of weeks!

In this weeks episode I play Long Black Veil.

The song was written by Marijohn Wilkin and Danny Dill

It was performed by Johnny Cash on the Live at Folsom Prison album.


LONG BLACK VEIL

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agree
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

She walks these hills
In a 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
For I had been in the arms of my best friend’s wife

She walks these hills
In a black veil
She visits my grave
When the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
nobody knows but me

The scaffold’s high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
In a long black veil she cries over my bones

She walks these hills
In a black veil
She visits my grave
When the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
nobody knows but me

Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me

Thank you for checking out this episode of JGV Sings It!

Until next time, with big love from me,
