long black veil - rick danko lyrics

[verse 1]
ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
someone was k!lled ‘neath that town hall light
there were few at the scene, but they all did agree
that man that ran looked a lot like me

[chorus]
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave where the night winds wail
n0body knows, no, and n0body sees
n0body knows but me

[verse 2]
the judge said, “son,” * thank you * “what is your alibi?
if you were somewhere else then you don’t have to die”
well, i spoke not a word, althought it meant my life
well, i’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife

[chorus]
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave where the night winds wail
n0body knows, no, and n0body sees
n0body knows but me

[accordion solo]
[chorus]
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave where the night winds wail
n0body knows, no, and n0body sees
n0body knows but me

[verse 3]
well, the scaffold was high, and eternity was near
you see, she stood in the crowd and she did not shed a tear
but sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan
in a long black veil, she cries all over my bones

[chorus]
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave where the night winds wail
n0body knows, no, and n0body sees
n0body knows but me

[verse 4]
well, the train of love’s a comin’
big black wheel’s a*hummin’
people waitin’ at the station
happy hearts a*drummin’
trainman tell me maybe, ain’t you got my baby?
every so often everybody’s baby gets the urge to roam
everybody’s baby but mine’s coming home
[verse 5]
well, stop that whistle blowin’
’cause i’ve got ways of knowin’
why you’re bringin’ other people’s lovers
but my own keeps goin’
trainman, tell me maybe, ain’t you got my baby?
every so often everybody’s baby gets the urge to roam
everybody’s baby but mine’s coming home
