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
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 my life
For I'd been in the arms
Of my best friend's wife
Now the scaffold is high
And eternity's near
She stood in the crowd
And 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
Nobody knows
Nobody sees
Nobody knows
But me
