The Long Black Veil
Lyricist:Danny Dill, Marijohn Wilkin
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 he 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 had 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me
The scaffold was high and eternity was near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans In the 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
