David Allan Coe - Long Black Veil lyrics

Your rating:

Ten years ago on a cool dark night 
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light 
There were few at the scene and they all did agree 
That the man 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 although it meant my life 
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil 
She visits my grave where the night winds wail 
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees 
Nobody knows but me 
The sky froze high and eternity neared 
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 over my bones
