The Long Black Veil(Single Version) - Burl Ives

作词：Danny Dill/Marijohn Wilkin

作曲：Danny Dill/Marijohn Wilkin

She walks the night in a long black veil

She visits a grave when the night winds wail

Nobody knows nobody sees

Nobody knows but me

Ten years ago on a cold cold night

Someone was killed neath the town hall light

Just a few at the scene but they all agree

That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

She walks the night in a long black veil

She visits a grave when the night winds wail

The judge said son what's 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 nother my friend's wife

She walks the night in a long black veil

She visits a grave when the night winds wail

The scaffold is high and eternity's near

She stands in the crowd and she's not a tear

But sometimes at night when the cold winds blow

She stands by my agree and crowd the soft blow

She walks the night in a long black veil

She visits my grave when the night winds wail

Nobody knows nobody sees

Nobody knows

But me
