Текст песни Long Black Veil - Jenny Owen Youngs

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
That the slayer who ran
Looked a lot like me

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

The judge said, "Hon, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else
You would not have to die."
I spoke not a word
Though it meant my life—
I'd been in the arms
Of my best friend's wife

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

Oh the scaffold is high
And eternity's near
She stood in the crowd
And shed not a tear
But late night
When the north wind blows
In a long black veil
She cries o'er my bones

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

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
Nobody knows but me
