Long Black Veil Lyrics
Well ten years ago on a cold dark night someone was killed neath the town's 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 you're somewhere else then you won't have to die
Well 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 she visits my grave when the night winds wail
Oh nobody knows and nobody sees nobody knows but me
[ ac.guitar ]
The scaffold is high and eternity near she stood in the crowd but she she'd not a tear
And sometimes at night when the cold wind moans

She stands o'er my grave and weeps for my bones
She walks these hills...
Oh nobody knows but me oh nobody knows but me
