| 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 |
