Song | The Long Black Veil |
Artist | Johnny Cash |
Album | Love, God, Murder |
作词 : Dill, Wilkin | |
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 man who ran looked a lot like me. | |
Chorus ~ 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 | |
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, though it meant my life, | |
for i'd been in the arms of my best friends wife. | |
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 | |
Chorus ~ 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. |
