We Banjo 3 the long black veil

Select language to translate this lyric

Ten years ago,
on a cold, dark night
there was someone killed
'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene
but they all did agree
that the man who ran
he looked a lot like me
Now the judge said son what is your alibi
because if you were somewhere else
you wont have to die
But i spoke not a word
although it meant my life
because i had been in the arms of my best friends wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave as the night winds wail
nobody knows, nobody sees
nobody knows but me
Now the sky (?)
and eternitys near
as she stands in the crowd
and she sheds not a tear
but sometimes at night when that cold wind blows in a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave as the night winds wail
nobody knows, nobody sees
nobody knows but me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave as the night winds wail
nobody knows, nobody sees
nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
nobody knows but me
