    "Long Black Veil," sung by The Band
                      (also recorded earlier by Joan Baez)

    includes a courtroom scene with the judge asking the accused if he has
an alibi for the time of the murder. (The accused is innocent, but he
"spoke not a word, though it meant my life, for I'd been in the arms of my
best friend's wife!")
