Long Black Veil

Original Lyrics and Music by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin



Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night

Someone was killed beneath the town hall light

There were few at the scene

But they all agreed

That the slayer who ran

Looked a lot like me



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



The judge said,
