The 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 He looked a lot like me Now the judge said son what is your alibi Because if you were somewhere else You wont have to die But i spoke not a word Although it meant my life Because i had been in the arms of my best friends wife She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave as the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Now the sky (?) And eternitys near As she stands in the crowd And she sheds not a tear But sometimes at night when that cold wind blows in a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave as the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave as the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me
