Karaoké The Long Black Veil Lefty Frizzell

Ten years ago on a cold dark night

There was someone killed 'neath the town hall lights

There were few at the scene but they all agreed

That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

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 though it meant my life

For 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

The scaffold's high and eternity near

She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear

But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans in a long black veil she cries 'ore 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

Nobody knows but me

Nobody knows but me
