Long Black Veil Lyrics
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed ‘neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
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 is high, and eternity’s near
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
But sometimes 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
…………………………*……………………….
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
I’d been in the arms of my best friends wife
Now 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
Guitar Chords
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
The judge said son what is your alibi
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
Nobody
The scaffold’s high and eternity near
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
Nobody
