Текст песни «Joan Baez - Long Black Veil»

Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
Someone was killed aneath the Town Hall light
The people who saw they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.

The judge said, ason, what is your alibi?
If you were somewheres else,
Then you wonat have to diea.
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
For Iad been in the arms of my best friendas wife.

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

The scaffold is high, eternity near,
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear,
But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan,
In a long black veil she cries oaer my bones.

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