Long Black Veil
Lyricist:Danny Dill, Marijohn Wilkin
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Oh, nobody knows and nobody sees Nobody knows but me
The scaffold is high and eternity near She stood in the crowd but she shed 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 in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Oh, nobody knows and nobody sees Nobody knows but me
