Songtexte The long black veil - Dill, Danny feat. The Chieftains

It was ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone lost their life, 'neath the town hall lights
There were few in attendance, but they all did agree
The man they saw runnin', looked a lot like me
The judge said, "son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else, than you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word, though I knew it meant my life
I was in the arms of my best friends wife. So nice

She walks these hills, in a long black veil
Visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

Well the scaffold was high, and eternity near
She stood in the crowd, Lord she shed not a tear. Not here
Sometimes at night, when the cold wind blows
In a long black veil, Lord she cries over my bones

She walks these hills, in a long black veil
Visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
