Long Black Veil

歌詞

Ten years ago on a cold dark night There was someone killed beneath the townhall light Just a few at the scene and they all did agree That the man who ran looked you're like me While the judge said Son what is your alibi If you were somewhere else While you don't have to die And I spoke not a word Throw 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 when the night winds wail Nobody knows long nobody sees Nobody knows but me Oh the scaffold is high eternity is near And she stoods in the crowd and she'd not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold winds moans In a long black veil She cries over my bones She walks these hills In a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows long nobody sees Nobody knows but me Nobody knows but me yeah
