Allen Frizzell - The Long Black Veil Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light
Few were at the scene but they all did agree
The slayer who ran looked a lot like me

[Verse 2]
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
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
