Long Black Veil
Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer
Johnny Cash:
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
Johnny and Carter Sisters: She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Johnny: Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Johnny: Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me
Johnny:
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
Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's 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 over my bones
Johnny and Carter Sisters: She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Johnny: 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.”
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife
Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's 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 over my bones
Johnny and Carter Sisters: She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Johnny: Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me
