The Long Black Veil lyrics
By: m. wilkens & d. dill
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night 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 wont have to die I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life For Id been in the arms of my best friends wife 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 Oh, the scaffold is high and eternitys near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But late at night, when the north wind blows In a long black veil, she cries ovre 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 Oh, the scaffold is high and eternitys near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But late at night, when the north wind blows In a long black veil, she cries ovre my bones
