mike ness - long black veil lyrics
ten years ago on a cold dark night
someone was killed ‘neath the town hall light
the people who saw now they all agreed
that the slayer who ran, looked just like me
the judge said son, what is your alibi?
if you were somewheres else, then you won’t have to die
i spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
for i’d 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
and n-body knows, n-body sees
n-body knows but me
the scaffold is high, eternity near
she stands in the crowd but shed not a tear
but sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
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
and n-body knows, n-body sees
n-body knows but me
n-body knows, n-body sees
n-body knows, n-body knows
i said, n-body knows, n-body, n-body sees
n-body knows but me
n-body knows
