Johnny Cash - As Long As The Grass Shall Grow Bitter Tears Johnny Cash Lyrics

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
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, 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 by life
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Now the scaffold is high and eternity is near
She stood in the crowd and she shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
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
