Karaoké Long Black Veil Daryle Singletary

Ten years ago on a cold dark night a man was killed 'neath the town hall light

There was a few at the scene and they all did agree

The man who ran looked a lot like me

Well the judge said Son what is your alibi

If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die

But 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 and visits my grave when the night winds wail

Nobody knows

Nobody sees

Nobody knows but me

Well the scaffold is high and eternity nears

She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear

But sometimes at night when the cold winds blow in a long black veil Lord she cries over my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil and visits my grave when the night winds wail

Nobody knows

Nobody sees

Nobody knows but me

Nobody knows

Nobody sees

Nobody knows but me
