bobby bare - long black veil lyrics
ten years ago on a cold dark night
someone 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 he said, “son, what is your alibi?
if you were somewhere else then you won’t have to die”
i spoke not a word although 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 was high and eternity was near
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
but sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
in the long black veil, she cries o’er 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
