Ten years ago on a cool dark night   There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light   There were few at the scene and they all did agree   That the man 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 although it meant my life   I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife      She walks these hills in a long black veil   She visits my grave where the night winds wail   Nobody knows, no and nobody sees   Nobody knows but me      The scaffold was high and eternity neared   She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear   But sometimes 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 where the night winds wail   Nobody knows, no and nobody sees   Nobody knows but me
