Long Black Veil (Live at Palalottomatica, Rome, Italy - 10/10/2006)
Well ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
Well there were few there at the scene, yeah but they all agreed
That the man who ran looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you don't have to die"
I spoke not a word, though it was my life
'Cause I was 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
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Well the gallows were close, eternity was near
She stood in the crowd and she shed not a tear
Sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
Well there were few there at the scene, yeah but they all agreed
That the man who ran looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you don't have to die"
I spoke not a word, though it was my life
'Cause I was 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
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Well the gallows were close, eternity was near
She stood in the crowd and she shed not a tear
Sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
