robert earl keen - long black veil lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
there was someone k!lled neath the town hall light
there were few at the scene, but they all agreed
that the man who ran looked a lot like me
the judge said son, what is your alibi
if you were somewhere else, then you don’t have to die
i spoke not a word thought it meant my life
i was in the arms of my best friend’s wife

[chorus]
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave while the night winds wail
n0body knows, n0body sees
n0body knows but me

[verse 2]
the scaffold was high and eternity near
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
but sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
in a long black veil she cries over my bones

[chorus 2]
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave while the night winds wail
n0body knows, n0body sees
n0body knows but me
n0body knows, n0body sees
n0body knows but me
