Long Black Veil — текст песни (Johnny Cash)

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

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, thou it meant my life
For I`d 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

Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity`s near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night, when the north wind blows
In a long black veil, she cries ov`re my bones

Repeat Chorus
