Long Black Veil Lyrics

Ten years ago on a cold, dark night
There was someone killed in the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but 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 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
She visits my grave when the night winds wailKingston Trio - Long Black Veil - http://motolyrics.com/kingston-trio/long-black-veil-lyrics.html
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 in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
