[00:00.32] Artist:joan baez
[00:01.02] Songs Title:long black veil
[00:02.58]
[00:08.94] Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
[00:15.61] Someone was killed ‘neath the Town Hall light
[00:24.28] The people who saw they all agreed
[00:31.21] That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
[00:43.51] The judge said, “son, what is your alibi?
[00:49.99] If you were somewheres else,
[00:53.61] Then you won’t have to die”.
[00:58.92] I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
[01:05.73] For I’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife.
[01:14.43] She walks these hills in a long black veil,
[01:22.74] Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
[01:31.91] Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[01:38.97] Nobody knows, but me.
[01:48.95] The scaffold is high, eternity near,
[01:56.13] She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear,
[02:04.56] But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan,
[02:11.36] In a long black veil she cries o’er my bones.
[02:19.40] She walks these hills in a long black veil,
[02:29.14] Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
[02:37.44] Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[02:44.37] Nobody knows, but me.
