Long Black Veil -Marijohn Wilkin / Danny Dill Ten years ago, on a cold dark night There was someone killed 'neath the townhall light, There were few at the scene, but the all agreed That the stranger who ran looked a lot like me Refrain: 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 ment my life, For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife Chorus: She walks these hills in a long black veil, She visits my grave where the night winds wail. Refrain The scaffold was high, and eternity near, She stood in the crown and shed not a tear. But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans, In a long black veil, she cries on my bones.
