Long Black Veil
Ten years ago on a cold dark night There was someone was killed 'neath the town hall light. There were few at the scene but 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, thou 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. She visits my grave Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com when the night winds wail. Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me.
Oh, the gallows were close and eternity's near. She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear. But sometimes at night, when the cold wind blows In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones.
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.
