The Long Black Veil
Mick Jagger, The Chieftains
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Ten years ago on a cold dark night Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light Just a few at the scene, and they all did agree That the man who ran looked a lot like me The judge said "Son, what's your alibi? If you were somewheres else, then you won't have to die" But I spoke not a word, tho' it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife Chorus: She walks these hills in a long black veil Visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me The scaffold is high, eternity near She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones Chorus
