# LONG BLACK VEIL by Johnny Cash Ten years ago,on a cold dark night Someone was killed ,neath the town hall light There were few at the scene,but the 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 won't have to die I spoke not a word,thou it met my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife Chorus She walks these hill.in a long black veil She visits my grave.when the night winds wail Nobody knows,nobody sees Nobody knows but me Oh the scaffold is high and eternity's near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But late at night,when the north wind blows In a long black veil,she cries o're my bones Repeat chorus |
