Lyrics
Ten years ago on a cold dark night There was someone 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 And nobody knows And nobody sees And nobody knows, but me The judge said son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, well then you won't have to die And I spoke not a word though it meant my life For I'd 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 And nobody sees And nobody knows, but me The scaffold was high and eternity near She moved through the crowd and she shed not a tear Sometimes at night when the cold winds moan She visits my grave and she cries o'er 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
