Long Black Veil |
Ten years ago on a cold dark night, |
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light. |
There were few at the scene but they all did agree |
That the man 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, |
I had been in the arms of my best friend’s wife. |
She walks these hills in a long black veil. |
She visits my grave where the night winds wail. |
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees, |
Nobody knows but me. |
The scaffold is high and eternity nears |
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear. |
But sometimes at night where the cold winds moan |
In a long black veil she cries all o’er my bones. |
She walks these hills in a long black veil. |
She visits my grave when the night winds wail. |
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees, |
Nobody knows but me. |
Nobody knows but me. |
