Ten years ago On a cold dark night A man was killed beneath the town hall light Though there were few Present at the scene They say the man that fled looked a lot like me And she walks these hills In a long black veil She visits my grave When the night winds wail Nobody knows him Nobody sees Nobody knows but me The church said son "What is your aliby?" If you were somewhere else Then you would not have to die Oh I said not a word It would have meant my life For i was in the arms of my best friend's wife And she walks these hills In a long black veil She visits my grave When the night winds wail Nobody knows him Nobody sees Nobody knows but me The scaffold is high Eternity is near She was in a crowd She shed not a tear No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Some time at night when a cold wind blows A long black veil it rests oh on my bones And she walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows him Nobody sees Nobody knows but me Nobody knows him Nobody sees Nobody knows But me
