Long Black Veil
Lyricist:Danny Dill, Marijohn Wilkin
Ten years ago on a cold dark night Someone was killed â€~neath the Town Hall light The people who saw they all agreed That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
The judge said, ‽Son, what is your alibi? If you were somewheres else, then you won't have to die†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 Visits my grave when the night winds wail Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me
The scaffold is high, eternity near She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan In a long black veil she cries over my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil Visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me
