Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone killed neath the town hall light
Just a few were at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like 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
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 love, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Well, scaffold's high and eternity nears
When she stands in the crowd and sheds not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
In a long black veil 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
Nobody knows but me
