The Long Black Veil Lyrics

	作词 : Dill, Wilkin
	The long black veil
	Don Williams
	Ten years ago on a cold dark night
	A man was killed neath the town hall light
	There were few at the scene but they all agreed
	That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
	The judge said, Son what is your alibi?
	If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die
	Well, I spoke not a word though it meant my life
	For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife.
	She walks these hills in a long black veil
	She visits my grave when the night winds wail
	Nobody knows, nobody sees,
	Nobody knows, but me.
	The scaffold is high an eternity nears
	She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear
	But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
	She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones.
	She walks these hills in a long black veil
	She visits my grave when the night winds wail
	Nobody knows, nobody sees,
	Nobody knows, but me...
