Bobby Bare - The Long Black Veil Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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
  • The judge he said son what is your alibi
  • If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
  • I spoke not a word although it meant my life
  • For I had 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
  • [ harmonica ]
  • The scaffold was high and eternity was near
  • She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
  • But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
  • In the long black veil she cries o'er my bones
  • Yes she walks these hills in a long black veil...
