Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Long Black Veil 
It was ten years ago, on a cold dark night There was someone killed neath the town hall light Just a few at the scene but they all agreed That then man who ran looked a lot like me Well the jusdge said, "Son, what's your alibi? If you're somewhere else then you don't have to die" I spoke not a word though 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, Lord, nobody sees Nobody knows but me 
Well the scaffold is high, an eternity nears She stands in the crowd and sheds not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan In a long black veil she cries all over my bones
