The Long Black Veil (Live)

Lyrics

Ten years ago,
 on a cold, dark night
 there was someone killed
 'neath the town hall light
 There were few at the scene
 but they all did agree
 that the man who ran
 he looked a lot like me
 Now the judge said son what is your alibi
 because if you were somewhere else
 you wont have to die
 But i spoke not a word
 although it meant my life
 because i had been in the arms of my best friends wife
 She walks these hills in a long black veil
 she visits my grave as the night winds wail
 nobody knows, nobody sees
 nobody knows but me
 Now the sky (?)
 and eternitys near
 as she stands in the crowd
 and she sheds not a tear
 but sometimes at night when that cold wind blows in a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones
 She walks these hills in a long black veil
 she visits my grave as the night winds wail
 nobody knows, nobody sees
 nobody knows but me
 She walks these hills in a long black veil
 she visits my grave as the night winds wail
 nobody knows, nobody sees
 nobody knows but me
 Nobody knows, nobody sees
 nobody knows but me
