Song | The Long Black Veil |
Artist | Johnny Cash |
Album | Original Album Classics |
作词 : Dill, Wilkin | |
The long black veil | |
Don Williams | |
Ten years ago on a cold dark night | |
A man was killed neath the town hall light | |
There were few at the scene but they all agreed | |
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me. | |
The judge said, Son what is your alibi? | |
If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die | |
Well, I spoke not a word though it meant my life | |
For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife. | |
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 scaffold is high an eternity nears | |
She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear | |
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan | |
She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones. | |
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... | |
