[00:00.00] The long black veil
[00:02.74] Don Williams
[00:05.08]
[00:08.46] Ten years ago on a cold dark night
[00:16.02] A man was killed neath the town hall light
[00:25.31] There were few at the scene but they all agreed
[00:33.31] That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
[00:43.01] The judge said, Son what is your alibi?
[00:50.48] If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die
[00:58.39] Well, I spoke not a word though it meant my life
[01:06.12] For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife.
[01:15.90] She walks these hills in a long black veil
[01:23.69] She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[01:33.81] Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[01:42.10] Nobody knows, but me.
[01:52.77] The scaffold is high an eternity nears
[02:00.34] She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear
[02:08.24] But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
[02:15.85] She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones.
[02:25.64] She walks these hills in a long black veil
[02:33.44] She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[02:43.56] Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[02:51.83] Nobody knows, but me...
