lirik lagu caroline herring - long black veil
Loading...
ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
someone 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.
chorus:
she walks these hills in a long, black veil.
she visits my grave when the night winds wail.
n-body knows, n-body sees, n-body 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, although it meant my life,
for i had been in the arms of my best friend’s wife.
the scaffold was high and eternity near,
she stood in the crowd and she’d not a tear.
but sometimes at night when the cold wind moans,
in a long black veil, she cries o’er my bones.
