[00:00.32]Artist:joan baez [00:01.02]Songs Title:long black veil [00:02.58] [00:08.94]Ten years ago on a cold dark night, [00:15.61]Someone was killed ‘neath the Town Hall light [00:24.28]The people who saw they all agreed [00:31.21]That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me. [00:43.51]The judge said, “son, what is your alibi? [00:49.99]If you were somewheres else, [00:53.61]Then you won’t have to die”. [00:58.92]I spoke not a word, though it meant my life, [01:05.73]For I’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife. [01:14.43]She walks these hills in a long black veil, [01:22.74]Visits my grave when the night winds wail, [01:31.91]Nobody knows, nobody sees, [01:38.97]Nobody knows, but me. [01:48.95]The scaffold is high, eternity near, [01:56.13]She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear, [02:04.56]But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan, [02:11.36]In a long black veil she cries o’er my bones. [02:19.40]She walks these hills in a long black veil, [02:29.14]Visits my grave when the night winds wail, [02:37.44]Nobody knows, nobody sees, [02:44.37]Nobody knows, but me.
