Long Black Veil Lyrics - Listener Supported (live) - Dave Matthews Band

Ten years ago on a cold dark night 

Someone was killed beneath the Town Hall light 

There were few at the scene but they all agreed 

That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me 

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 

The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi? 

If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die" 

Well, I said not a word, though it meant my life 

For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife 

Oh, 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

Oh, now the scaffold is high, eternity is near 

She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear 

Oh, sometimes at night when the cold winds blow 

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 

Oh, 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 

Nobody knows, nobody sees 

Nobody knows but me 

Nobody knows but me 

Nobody knows but me

Nobody, nobody 

Nobody knows 

Nobody knows 

Nobody, nobody
