long black veil - new riders of the purple sage lyrics
dill-wilkin
ten years ago, on a cold dark night
there was someone killed ‘neath the town hall light
there were few there at the scene, but they all agreed
that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
chorus
she walks these hills in a long black veil (note 1)
visits my grave when the night winds wail
n-body knows, n-body sees
n-body 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 had been in the arms of my best friend’s wife
[chorus]
the gallows were close and eternity near
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
sometimes at night, when the cold winds blow (note 2)
in a long black veil, she cries o’er my bones
[chorus]
n-body knows but me
