Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed ââ¬~neath the Town Hall light
The people who saw they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
The judge said, ââ¬Â½Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewheres else, then you won't have to dieââ¬Â
I spoke 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
Visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
The scaffold is high, eternity near
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
Visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
