Long Black Veil Lyrics - Faron Young

(Marijohn Wilkin - Danny Dill) 

Ten years ago on a cold dark night 

There was someone killed neath the town hall light 

There were few at the scene but they all agree 

The slayer who ran looked a lot 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 

I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

She walks these hills in a long black veil 

She visits my grave when the night winds wail 

Nobody knows and nobody sees 

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 moans 

In a long black veil she cries all alone.
