The Long Black Veil 歌詞

The Long Black Veil (長長的黑麪紗) - The Chieftains

Written by:Marijohn Wilkin/Danny Dill

Ten years ago on a cold dark night

 

There were someone 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

 

Well the judge said son what's your alibi

 

If you were somewheres else well you won't have to die

 

But I spoke not a word though it meant my life

 

For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

 

She walks these hills in a long black veil

 

She visits my grave when the night winds wail

 

Nobody knows Lord nobody sees

 

Nobody knows but me

 

Well the scaffold is high eternity near

 

She stands in the crowd and she sheds not a tear

 

But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan

 

In a long black veil she cries all over my bones

 

She walks these hills in a long black veil

 

She visits my grave when the night winds wail

 

Nobody knows Lord nobody sees

 

Nobody knows but me

 

 

Nobody knows but me
