Long Black Veil
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few there at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
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
The judge said son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else, thеn you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, though it mеant my life
For I had 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
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
The gallows were close and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
Sometimes at night, when the cold winds blow
In a long black veil, she cries o'er 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
Nobody knows, but me
