Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
There was somebody killed beneath the town hall light
There were few 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."
Well, I said 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 when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high
Eternity
She stood in the crowd
And shed not a tear

Oh, sometimes at night
When the cold winds blow

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 cares, nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
