          LONG BLACK VEIL by Johnny Cash
 
Ten years ago,on a cold dark night
Someone was killed ,neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene,but the 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,thou it met my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife

Chorus
She walks these hill.in a long black veil
She visits my grave.when the night winds wail
Nobody knows,nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

Oh the scaffold is high and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night,when the north wind blows
In a long black veil,she cries o're my bones

Repeat chorus

Long Black Veil-Johnny Cash
Ten years ago on a cold dark night, someone was 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. Chorus ~ She walks these hills, in a long black veil. She visits my grave, when the night winds vail. Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but 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 ment my life, for i'd been in the arms of my best friends wife. Chorus* Now the schaffold is high, and eternity's near. She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear. But some times at night, when the cold wind moans In a long black veil, she cries over my bones Chorus ~ She walks these hills, in a long black veil. When the cold winds blow, and the night winds wail. No body knows, no body sees. No body knows, but me.
