Long Black Veil Lyrics

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene but they all agree
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 spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wailRick Danko - Long Black Veil - http://motolyrics.com/rick-danko/long-black-veil-lyrics.html
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

The scaffold is high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But some times 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
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
