Don Williams - The Long Black Veil Lyrics

  • (Marijohn Wilkin / Danny Dill)
  • Ten years ago on a cold dark night
  • A man 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.
  • The judge said, Son what is your alibi?
  • If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die
  • Well, I spoke not a word though it meant my life
  • For I had been in the arms of my best friends 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 is high an eternity nears
  • She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear
  • But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
  • She comes to my grave and she cries on 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...
