The Long Black Veil
By Lefty Frizzell
G
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
D C G
A man was killed �neath the town hall light
G
There were few at the scene, but they all did agree
D C G
That the man who ran looked alot 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
Chorus
C G C G
She walks these hills in a long black veil
C G C G
And visits my grave when the night winds wail
C G
Nobody knows, nobody sees
C D G
Nobody knows but me
The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
In a long black veil she cries over 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
