roy drusky - long black veil lyrics
ten years ago on a cold dark night
someone was killed ‘neath the town hall light
just a few at the scene but they all did agreed
that the man who ran looked a lot like me
well, the judge said, “son, what is your alibi
if you were somewhere else, well, you won’t have to die”
i spoke not a word though it meant my life
so 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 love, n-body sees, n-body knows but me
the scaffold was high and eternity near
she stands in the crowd and sheds not a tear
but sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
in a long black veil she cries o’er my bones
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
n-body knows love, n-body sees, n-body knows but me
