Kishore Kumar Hits — Carter Hulsey - Long Black Veil lyrics

Artist: Carter Hulsey

album: Drive Out

Ten years ago
On a cold, dark night
Well, someone was killed beneath the town hall light
And though few at the scene
Well, they all agree
That the slayer who ran
He looked a lot like me
And she walks these hills
In a long, black veil
She visits my grave
When the night winds wail
And nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows me
And the judge said,
"Son, what is your alibi?
'Cause if you were somewhere else,
You won't have to die."
And I said not a word
When it meant my life
'Cause I was in the arms of
My best friend's wife
And she walks these hills
In a long, black veil
She visits my grave
When the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows me
And the scaffold is high
Eternity is near
And, oh, she stood in the crowd
But shed not a tear
Sometimes late at night
When the cold winds wail
In a long, black veil
She'll cry over my bones
And 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.
