Long Black Veil

Long Black Veil - Johnny Lee

It was ten years ago on a cold dark night there was

Someone killed neath the town hall lights

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

But i spoke not a word although it meant my life

Cause i'd been in the arms of judge's wife

And she walks these hills in a long black veil

She visits my grave when the night winds wail

Nobody knows nobody sees

Nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high and eternity's near

She stands in the crowd and she shed not a tear

But some times at night when the cold cold wind moans

She a stand of my grave and she cries over my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil

She visits my grave when the night winds wail

And nobody knows nobody sees

Nobody knows but me

Oh there is nobody knows nobody sees

Nobody knows but me
