Band - Long Black Veil Lyrics
GTen years ago on a cool dark nightD c gThere was someone killed neath the town hall lightGThere were few at the scene and they all did agreeD c gThat the man who ran looked a lot like meThe judge said son, what is your alibi?If you were somewhere else then you wont have to dieI spoke not a word although it meant my lifeI had been in the arms of my best friends wifeC g c gShe walks these hills in a long black veilC g c gShe visits my grave where the night winds wailG c gNobody knows, no, and nobody seesC g d cNobody knows but meThe scaffold was high and eternity nearedShe stood in the crowd and shed not a tearBut sometimes at night when the cold wind moansIn a long black veil she cries over my bones
