Ten years ago
On a cold dark night
There was someone was k**ed
'neath 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
I spoke not a word
Thou 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
Oh, the gallows were close
And eternity's near
She stood in the crowd
And shed not a tear
But sometimes at night
When the cold wind blows
In a long black veil
She cries ov're 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
