The Walkabouts - Long Black Veil lyrics

Beyond the reach There are rows of tender hooks Where nothing seems To justify a second look And not a soul is found To tear them hooks on down Famous times Tattooed on this burlap skin And gun cold days Shot to pieces above my head Now tell who's that clown Who pulled this veil on down Long black veil Long black Long black veil Long black If light's a brighter grey Please then turn it up This whole town wears its veil down And wrestles with some all-night clown And he don't sleep And he don't sleep Long black veil Long black Long black veil Long black Long black veil Long black Long black veil Tell me long black
