john anderson - long black veil lyrics

Loading...

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

now 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 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

now 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
i’d been in the arms of my best friends wife

now 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, n-body sees
n-body knows, but me
