The Long Black Veil Lyrics

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night

Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light

There were few at the scene but they all agreed

That this lad who ran looked a lot like me

The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?

If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"

I spoke not a word, although 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

Nobody knows, nobody sees

Nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high and eternity near

She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear

But sometimes at night when the cold wind 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, nobody sees

Nobody knows but me
