Ten years ago on a cold dark night
there was someone's killed neath the town hall light
just few at the scene but they all agreed
That the man who ran looked a lot like me.
well, The judge said, Son what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
I had been in the arms of my best friends 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 is high an eternity nears
and She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
and the 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...
