WRITERS DANNY DILL, MARIJOHN WILKIN
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
A man was killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they 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
Well I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife
She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-long-black-veil-lyrics-don-williams.html ]
Nobody knows nobody seems nobody knows but me
The scaffold is high an eternity nears
She stood in the crowd shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones
She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows nobody seems nobody knows but me
