Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me

Now 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 was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when a cold wind moans
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

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'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 winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
