Long Black Veil
main lyrics
Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
someone was killed beneath the town hall lights
there were few at the scene, but they all agreed
that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

[CHORUS]
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, "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
for I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
but sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
in a long, black veil she cries o'er my bones

[CHORUS]
nobody knows, nobody sees
nobody knows but me
