faron young - long black veil lyrics
(marijohn wilkin – danny dill)
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 agree
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
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 and n-body sees
n-body knows but me.
the scaffold was high and eternity near
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
but sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
in a long black veil she cries all alone.
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
n-body knows and n-body sees
n-body knows but me.
n-body knows but me…
