Ten years ago, on a cold dark night There was someone 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
The judge said son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere selse Then you wont have to die I spoke not a word, though it meant my life For I been in the arms, of my best friend's wife
Chorus She walks these hills In her long black veil She visits my grave When the cold winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me
The sky has turned dark, and eternity's near She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear Late at night, when the cold winds moan In her long black veil She cries o'r my bones
