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
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 over 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
