"Long Black Veil" is a 1959 country ballad, written by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin and originally recorded by Lefty Frizzell. It is told from the point of view of a man falsely accused of murder and executed. He refuses to provide an alibi, since on the night of the murder he was having an extramarital affair with his best friend's wife, and would rather die and take their secret to his grave than admit the truth. The chorus describes the woman's mourning visits to his gravesite, wearing a long black veil and enduring a wailing wind.

L'uomo, innocente, decide di non fornire un alibi al giudice perché durante il delitto si trovava con la moglie del suo miglior amico, preferendo quindi morire piuttosto che svelare questo segreto. Il ritornello descrive le visite della donna alla tomba dell'amante avvolta in un lungo velo nero (da cui il titolo del brano). (it)

För Frizzell var den ett steg mot ett mer folkbaserat sound. Sången handlar om en man som anklagats för mord. Hans alibi är att han vid tillfället haft en affär med sin bästa väns fru, men eftersom han hellre dör än avslöjar detta håller han tyst och avrättas genom hängning. Den enda som vet sanningen är älskarinnan, som besöker hans grav iklädd en lång, svart slöja. (sv)
