Long Black Veil Songtext
von MJ Lenderman

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed neath the town hall light
If you were at the scene, well, they all did agree
That the man who ran looked a lot like me

The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, and you don′t have to die"
I said not a word, though within my life
I've been in the arms of my best friend′s wife


She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night went away
Nobody knows, nowhere, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me

The scaffold was high and it turned it to near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
Sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when I pass away
Nobody knows, nowhere nobody sees
Nobody knows but me


Nobody knows, nowhere nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nowhere nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
