Little River Band - The Man In Black Lyrics






He just rode in from Nevada
As the leaves turned brown
With the dust from off the desert
He drifted into town
It was easy to see he was a gambler
And the ladies all knew what he was after

He was the man in black
Nobody knew why he came
The man in black
Does anyone here know his name?

He made his bed down by the river
There he spent his days
One by one all the ladies fell beneath his gaze
They knew very well they were in danger
But they were under the spell of a stranger

He was the man in black
Nobody knew why he came
The man in black
Does anyone here know his name?

Can you tell me where he's hiding and
Was there a young woman with him?
She is my daughter
I've come to fetch her
And when I find her
I swear that man's gonna die

He was the man in black
Nobody knew why he came
The man in black
Does anyone here know his name?

He was the man in black
Nobody knew why he came
The man in black
Does anyone here know his name?

He was the man in black
Nobody knew why he came
The man in black
Does anyone here know his name?

  6. B.... P....

    Great to hear this fantastic song still,out there. Rob Bathurst NSW

  7. P.... ....

    I'm convinced this music influenced Comfortably Numb; especially the violin vs the stratocaster sound from 3:25-:3:33, not to mention the tempo and the angry fade out

  8. G.... T....

    @Stewart Hilder Top story mate. Thanks.

  9. G.... T....

    Agree, they were one of the best. Unfortunately there is a faker out there Wayne Nelson who still uses the name of the band and is passing himself off as the songwriter of all these classics. It's disgusting but legal. How the f^&* does that work?

    Il a juste roulé dans du Nevada
    Comme les feuilles brunissent
    Avec la poussière de désert
    Il a dérivé en ville

    Il était facile de voir qu'il était un joueur

    Et les dames savaient tous ce qu'il était après



    Il était l'homme en noir

    Personne ne savait pourquoi il est venu

    L'homme en noir
    Est-ce que quelqu'un ici connaît son nom?

    Il a fait son lit près de la rivière
    Là, il passait ses journées
    Un par un, toutes les dames sont tombés sous son regard
    Ils savaient très bien qu'ils étaient en danger
    Mais ils étaient sous le charme d'un étranger

    Il était l'homme en noir
    Personne ne savait pourquoi il est venu



    L'homme en noir
    Est-ce que quelqu'un ici connaît son nom?

    Pouvez-vous me dire où il se cache et
    Y at-il une jeune femme avec lui?
    Ce est ma fille
    Je suis venu la chercher
    Et quand je lui trouve
    Je jure que va mourir de l'homme

    Il était l'homme en noir
    Personne ne savait pourquoi il est venu
    L'homme en noir
    Est-ce que quelqu'un ici connaît son nom?

    Il était l'homme en noir
    Personne ne savait pourquoi il est venu
    L'homme en noir
    Est-ce que quelqu'un ici connaît son nom?

    Il était l'homme en noir
    Personne ne savait pourquoi il est venu
    L'homme en noir
    Est-ce que quelqu'un ici connaît son nom?

    I have always loved The LRB I am a proud Aussie and I traveled to Switzerland to work in a ski resort 1978, I took my cassette of the LRB with me and I handed it over to the owner of the bar and he played it every night and it was a hit. People that came to our Pub started requesting LRB every night, I was so proud. By the way it was Verbia, Great Memorie.

  14. y.... u....

    I remember this from my Homecoming dance in 77' with my date. Talk about a HOT dance to this song with her.

    The CD came out in 1975 and The Man in Black is the all time best song.

    Along with 'Statue Of Liberty' & '(It's A) Long Way There'..thisn is one of my THREE ALL-TIME UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVES from the Eponymous 1975 debut album..

    Thanx fer this, m8..

    Opinions Animation Studios "Statue of Liberty" is one of favs. It's not as well known as some of the others. If people haven't listened to the words, they sure need to.
