The Long Black Veil - Don Williams (唐·威廉姆斯)

Ten years ago on a cold dark night

A man 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

The judge said Son what is your alibi

If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die

Well I spoke not a word though it meant my life

For I had been in the arms of my best friends 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 is high an eternity nears

She stood in the crowd shed not a tear

But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan

She comes to my grave and she cries on 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
