Long Black Veil

Dave Matthews Band

1. Ten years ago on a cold, dark night
   Someone was kill beneath the town hall light
   There were few at the scene but they all did agree
   the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me

R: She walks these hills, in along black veil
   she visits my grave, when the night winds wail
   nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

2. The judge said "Son what is your alibi, 
   if you were somewhere else then you don't have to die"
   Well I spoke not a word though it meant my life
   for I had been in the arms, of my best friends wife

R: She walks these hills...

3. Well the scaffold is high and eternity is near
   she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
   but sometimes at night when the cold wind blows 
   in a long black vail she cries over my bones

R: She walks these hills...
