Long Black Veil

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 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 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
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
nobody knows but me
The scaffold´s high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
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 but me
Nobody knows but me
