كلمات The Long Black Veil

Ten years ago on a cold dark night A man 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 said, Son what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die Well I spoke not a word though it meant my life For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows nobody seems nobody knows but me The scaffold is high an eternity nears She stood in the crowd shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows nobody seems nobody knows but me
