The Long Black Veil

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>Ten years ago on a cold dark night<br/>Someone was killed &#x27;neath the town hall light<br/>There were few at the scene, but they all agreed<br/>That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me<span><br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>She walks these hills in a long black veil<br/>She visits my grave when the night winds wail<br/>Nobody knows, nobody sees<br/>Nobody knows but me<span><br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>The Judge said, &quot;Son, what is your alibi?<br/>If you were somewhere else, you won&#x27;t have to die&quot;<span><br/>I spoke not a word, though it meant my life<br/>I&#x27;d been in the arms of my best friend&#x27;s wife<br/></primis-player>Now the scaffold seemed high, and eternity was near<br/>She stood in the crowd, but she shed not a tear<span><br/>But some times at night when the cold wind calls<br/>She comes to my grave and she moans o&#x27;er my bones<span><br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>She walks these hills in a long black veil<span><br/>She visits my grave when the night winds wail<br/>Nobody knows, nobody sees<br/>Nobody knows but me<br/><br/>[Outro]<br/>Nobody knows, nobody sees<br/>Nobody knows but me<span>
