Ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light;
There was 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;
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.
Now, the scaffold is high, and eternity near,
She stood in the crowd and she shed not a tear;
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans,
In a 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.
Now the judge he 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'd 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 goes pale;
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.
