Long Black Veil
Ten years ago On a cold dark night Someone was killed Neath the town hall light There were few at the scene But they all agreed That the slayer who ran Looked a lot like me
She walks these hills In a long black veil She visits my grave When the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me
The judge said, 'Hon, what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else You would not have to die.' I spoke not a word Though it meant my life— I'd been in the arms Of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills In a long black veil She visits my grave When the night winds wail Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me
Oh the scaffold is high And eternity's near She stood in the crowd And shed not a tear But late night When the north wind blows In a long black veil She cries o'er my bones
She walks these hills In a long black veil She visits my grave When the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me
She walks these hills In a long black veil She visits my grave When the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Nobody knows but me
