The Long Black Veil Lyrics

The Long Black Veil (长长的黑面纱) - Johnny Lee

It was ten years ago on a cold dark night

 

There was someone 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

 

And 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

 

For I'd been in the arms of judge'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

 

The scaffold was high and eternity's near

 

She stands in the crowd and she shed not a tear

 

But sometime late at night when the cold cold wind blows

 

And 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

 

There ain't nobody knows nobody sees

 

 

Nobody knows but me
