Long Black Veil Lyrics

Long Black Veil - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

Written by:Marijohn Wilkin/Danny Dill

Ten years ago on a cold dark night

 

Someone 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

 

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

 

Oh the scaffold is high and eternity's near

 

She stood in the crowd and she'd not a tear

 

But late at night when the north wind blows

In a long black veil she cries ov're my bones

 

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 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 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 nobody sees

 

Nobody knows but me

 

Nobody knows nobody sees

 

 

Nobody knows but me

.
