Long Black Veil

Lyrics

Life was good for a short while Hot sweet nights days that were fine Spent many hours just looking at you Heart stopped beating for a moment or two Long black veil now you are mine Sun went down never to rise Lost in tears filling my eyes Saw my love trampled deep in the dirt Overwhelmed by the bitterest hurt Long black veil now you are mine I've lately felt a stirring Of ghosts around my mind And I'm frightened of the things that I might find The veil of black that claimed you And took you from my sight Has marched across the sands of time tonight
