Ten years ago on a cold dark night Someone was killed `neath the town hall light There were few at the scene but they all agreed That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
The judge he said, "Son what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else then you won`t have to die." I spoke not a word although 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 She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
--- Instrumental ---
The scaffold was high and eternity was near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans In the long black veil she cries o`er my bones.
Yes, 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...
