The Long Black Veil

歌詞

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 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
