Song
Long Black Veil:Lefty Frizzell.
#6 in 1959. (A crossover hit.)
#1.
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
there was someone killed 'neath the town hall light.
There were few were at the scene, but they all agreed,
that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
#2.
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 had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
CHORUS:
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.
#3.
The scaffold is high, and eternity nears..
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear.
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows,
in a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones.
CHORUS:
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.
OUTRO:
Nobody knows but me...nobody knows but me. (Fade.)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
