Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed beneath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene
But they all agreed that the slayer who ran
Looked a lot like me
Now she walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, knows
Nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The scaffold was high
Eternity near
She stood in a crowd
And shed not a tear
But sometimes at night
When the cold wind moans
In a long black veil
She cries o'er my bones
Now 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 says I'm a fool
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
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Now she walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
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
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nothing knows but me
