Tommy Cash - Long Black Veil lyrics

rate me

Well ten years ago on a cold dark night someone was killed neath the town's 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 you're somewhere else then you won't have to die

Well I spoke not a word though it meant my life

For I'd 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

Oh nobody knows and nobody sees nobody knows but me

[ ac.guitar ]

The scaffold is high and eternity near she stood in the crowd but she shed not a tear

And sometimes at night when the cold wind moans

She stands o'er my grave and weeps for my bones

She walks these hills...

Oh nobody knows but me oh nobody knows but me
