Ten years ago on a cold dark night   There was someone killed 'neath the town hall lights   There were few at the scene but they all agree   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 though it meant my life   For I'd been in the arms of my best friends 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 is high and eternity near   She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear   But some times at night when the cold wind moans   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 sees, nobody knows but me   Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
