Long Black Veil - Napster Session - Johnny Flynn

Ten years ago on a cold dark night

there was someone killed neath the town hall light

There were few at the scene but they all agreed

that the slayer who ran looked at lot like me

She walks these hills in a long black veil

She visits my grave when the night winds wail

Nobody knows and nobody sees and nobody knows but me

The judge said, 'Son, what is your alibi?

If you were somewhere else, well then you won't have to die"

But I spoke not a word though it meant my life

For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

She walks these hills in a long black veil

She visits my grave when the night winds wail

Nobody knows and nobody sees and nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high and eternity near,

she moved through the crowd and shed not a tear

Sometimes at night when the cold winds moan

She visits 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

and nobody sees

and nobody knows

but me
