proclaimers – long black veil lyrics
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 agreed
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
n-body knows, n-body sees
n-body knows but me
the scaffold stood high, eternity neared
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
but sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
in a long black veil, she cries on my bones
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
n-body knows, n-body sees
n-body knows but me
n-body knows but me
