the long black veil - chieftains lyrics
Loading...
ten years ago on a cold dark night
someone was killed ‘neath the town hall light
just a few at the scene, and they all did agree
that the man who ran looked a lot like me
the judge said “son, what’s your alibi?
if you were somewheres else, then you won’t have to die”
but i spoke not a word, tho’ it meant my life
for i’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife
chorus:
she walks these hills in a long black veil
visits my grave when the night winds wail
n-body knows, n-body sees
n-body knows, but me
the scaffold is high, eternity near
she stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear
but sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
in a long black veil, she cries o’er my bones
chorus
