Long Black Veil

Ten years ago on a cold dark night There was someone shot 'neath the town hall light Few were at the scene but they all agree That the man did the shooting looked a lot like me The judge said "Son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else you won't have to die" I spoke not a word, though it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave while the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees, Nobody knows but me The scaffold was high, and eternity near She stood in the crowd, but she shed not a tear But sometimes late at night, when the cold wind moans She visits my grave, and she cries o'er my bones (Chorus) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Glenn Estes,Accounting Manager| My opinions do not reflect those of Levy & Son | my employer, unless he happens to be right.
