Lyrics The Long Black Veil - Orión

It was ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
The killer who ran, he looked a lot like me

Now 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, oh thou it meant my life
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

Now 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

Now the scaffold is high and eternity was near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the north wind blows
In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones

Now 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
