[00:00.00] The Long Black Veil by wap
[00:08.27] Ten years ago on a cold dark night
[00:15.39] A man was killed 'neath the town hall light
[00:24.86] There were few at the scene but they all agreed
[00:32.86] That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
[00:42.77] The judge said, Son what is your alibi?
[00:50.39] If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
[00:58.33] Well, I spoke not a word though it meant my life
[01:05.97] For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife.
[01:15.72] She walks these hills in a long black veil
[01:23.47] She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[01:33.81] Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[01:41.61] Nobody knows, but me.
[01:52.51] The scaffold is high an eternity nears
[02:00.26] She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear
[02:07.81] But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
[02:15.78] She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones.
[02:25.34] She walks these hills in a long black veil
[02:33.19] She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[02:43.34] Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[02:51.53] Nobody knows, but me...
