Long Black Veil Lyrics
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
