Long Black Veil歌词

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
The people who saw,they all agreed
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 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
The scaffold is high, and eternity's near
She stands in the crowd, and sheds not a tear
But some times at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over 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
