jeff tweedy - long black veil lyrics
ten years ago on a cold dark night,
someone was killed ‘neath the town hall lights.
there were few at the scene, but they all agreed,
that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
chorus ~ 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 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’d been in the arms of my best friends wife.
chorus-
now the scaffold is high, and eternity’s near.
she stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear.
but some times at night, when the cold wind moans
in a long black veil, she cries over my bones
chorus ~ she walks these hills, in a long black veil.
when the cold winds blow, and the night winds wail.
no body knows, no body sees.
no body knows, but me.
