The Long Black Veil Lyrics
The Long Black Veil (长长的黑面纱) (Live) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)
Written by：Danny Dill/Marijohn Wilkin
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
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 though it meant my life
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Oh the scaffold is high and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometime at night when the north wind blows
In a long black veil she cries over 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
