Karaoke The Long Black Veil Lefty Frizzell

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was 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 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 friend's 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's high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans in a long black veil she cries 'ore 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
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
