Long Black Veil Lyrics

Well ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed neath the town's 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're somewhere else then you won't have to die
Well 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 veilTommy Cash - Long Black Veil - http://motolyrics.com/tommy-cash/long-black-veil-lyrics.html
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Oh nobody knows and nobody sees nobody knows but me
[ ac.guitar ]
The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd but she shed not a tear
And sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
She stands o'er my grave and weeps for my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil...
Oh nobody knows but me oh nobody knows but me
