The Long Black Veil (Explicit) - Burl Ives
Lyrics by：Danny Dill/Marijohn Wilkin
Composed by：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
There were 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 another 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
