the band - long black veil - live at woodstock, 8/17/69 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 did agree
that man who ran looked a lot like me

[verse 2]
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, although it meant my life
i had been in the arms of my best friend’s wife

[chorus]
she walks thesе hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave whеn the night winds wail
n0body knows, no, and n0body sees
n0body knows but me

[verse 3]
the scaffold was high and eternity neared
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
but sometimes 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
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
n0body knows, no, and n0body sees
n0body knows but me
