long black veil - gene watson lyrics

Loading...

ten years ago on a cool dark night
there was someone k!lled ‘neath the town hall light
there were few at the scene and they all did agree
that the man who ran looked a lot like me

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 although it meant my life
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 where the night winds wail
n0body knows, no, and n0body sees
n0body knows but me

the scaffold was high and eternity neared
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 over my bones

- gene watson lyrics
