The Long Black Veil-Lefty Frizzell

[00:07.39]Ten years ago on a cold dark night [00:13.84]A man was killed neath the town hall light [00:21.67]There were few at the scene but they all agreed [00:29.27]That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me. [00:36.94]The judge said, Son what is your alibi? [00:44.86]If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die [00:53.26]Well, I spoke not a word though it meant my life [00:59.47]For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife. [01:09.65]She walks these hills in a long black veil [01:16.86]She visits my grave when the night winds wail [01:33.06]Nobody knows, nobody sees, [01:34.03]Nobody knows, but me. [01:41.26]The scaffold is high an eternity nears [01:48.75]She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear [01:56.61]But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan [02:03.61]She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones. [02:13.08]She walks these hills in a long black veil [02:21.34]She visits my grave when the night winds wail [02:30.76]Nobody knows, nobody sees, [02:37.94]Nobody knows, but me... [02:40.80]
