Cover art for In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed lyrics by Allman Brothers Band, The

Dickey Betts was having an affair with a famous musician's wife, and slept with her in the Rose Hill cemetary one night. He looked at the nearest headstone and it was Elizabeth Reed's. The wife was Latina, so he gave the song a latin sound. As far as the famous musician, I'm not telling, cuz I don't know if he ever found out.
