Lyrics:

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

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 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 friend's wife

Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd but she shed not a tear
But some times at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries o'er 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
