Lyrics: Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the man 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

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

Ohhhh 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

Oh now, the scaffold was high
Eternity is near she stood in the crowd
And shed not a tear
Ohhhh sometimes at night when the cold winds blow
In a long black veil she cries over my bones

Ohhh 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


Ohh 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
