The Long Black Veil - Johnny Lee[00:00:02]
It was ten years ago on a cold dark night[00:00:07]
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light[00:00:15]
There were few at the scene but they all agreed[00:00:23]
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me[00:00:30]
And the judge said[00:00:38]
Son what is your alibi[00:00:41]
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die[00:00:46]
But I spoke not a word although it meant my life[00:00:54]
For I'd been in the arms of judge's wife[00:01:02]
She walks these hills in a long black veil[00:01:10]
She visits my grave when the night winds wail[00:01:18]
Nobody knows nobody sees[00:01:28]
Nobody knows but me[00:01:36]
The scaffold was high and eternity's near[00:01:48]
She stands in the crowd and she shed not a tear[00:01:56]
But sometime late at night when the cold cold wind blows[00:02:03]
And she cries over my bones[00:02:15]
She walks these hills in a long black veil[00:02:20]
She visits my grave when the night winds wail[00:02:28]
Nobody knows nobody sees[00:02:37]
Nobody knows but me[00:02:46]
There ain't nobody knows nobody sees[00:02:53]
Nobody knows but me[00:03:02]
