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 the slayer 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 said not a word although it meant my life

'cause I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife

She walks these hills in a long black veilHank Williams Jr. - Long Black Veil - http://motolyrics.com/hank-williams-jr/long-black-veil-lyrics.html

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 o'er my bones

She walks these hills...

Long black veil
