Long Black Veil (Live)
Ten years ago on a cold dark night Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light The people who saw, they all agreed That the slayer, 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 For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil Visits my grave when the night winds wail Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
The scaffold is high, eternity near She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil Visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
