Paroles de Long Black Veil

Ten years ago on a cold dark night A man was killed neath the town hall light There was a few at the scene and they all did agree The man who ran looked a lot like me Well the judge said son what is your alibi If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die But I spoke not a word though it meant my life I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife She walks these hills in a long black veil And visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows nobody sees nobody knows but me [ harmonica ] Well the scaffold was high and eternity's near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold winds blow In a long black veil Lord she cries over my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil... Nobody knows nobody sees nobody knows but me
