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 stranger who fled looked a lot like me.
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.
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
She visits my grave where the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.
The scaffold was high, and eternity near,
She stood in the crown and shed not a tear;
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans,
In a long black veil, she cries on my bones.
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
She visits my grave where the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.
