Long Black Veil by Proclaimers
(Song by Danny Dill/Marijohn Wilkin)
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 agreed
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 though it meant my life
For, I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
She walks these hills in a long black veil
