The Long Black Veil - Live Version
Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
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
Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
But some times at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
When the cold winds blow, and the night winds wail
No body knows, no body sees
No body knows, but me
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
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
Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
But some times at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
When the cold winds blow, and the night winds wail
No body knows, no body sees
No body knows, but me
