Ten years ago on a cold, dark night
Someone was kill beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all did agree
the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
She walks these hills, in along 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 don't have to die'
Well I spoke not a word though it meant my life
for I had been in the arms, of my best friends wife
She walks these hills, in along black veil
she visits my grave, when the night winds wail
nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
Well the scaffold is high and eternity is near
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
but sometimes at night when the cold wind blows in a long black vail she cries over my bones
She walks these hills, in along 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
