Long black veil

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone 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

The judge he said son what is your alibi
You were somewhere else then you won't have to die
Well I spoke not a word although it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

Now she walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows oh no nobody sees nobody knows but me
[ guitar ]
She walks these hills...
No nobody knows but me
