Long Black Veil

Lyrics

Well, it was ten years ago on a cold dark night Someone was killed beneath the town hall light And there were few at the scene and though they all did agreed That stranger that ran looked a lot like me She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave where the night winds wail The judge said "Son, what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die" But I spoke not a word although 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 where the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Nobody knows, no, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Well, that scaffold is high and eternity's near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when that cold wind moans In a long black veil she cries on my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave where the night winds wail Nobody knows, no, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me
