Long Black Veil
Ten years ago on a cold dark night, There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light. There were few at the scene but they all did agree That the man who ran looked a lot like 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, I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
She walks these hills in a long black veil. She visits my grave where the night winds wail. Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees, Nobody knows but me. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
The scaffold is high and eternity nears She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear. But sometimes at night where the cold winds moan In a long black veil she cries all o'er my bones.
She walks these hills in a long black veil. She visits my grave when the night winds wail. Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees, Nobody knows but me.
Nobody knows but me.
