[length: 03:16]
[00:11.99]Ten years ago on a cold dark night
[00:17.07]Someone was killed ‘neath the town hall lights
[00:22.28]There were few at the scene
[00:25.27]But they all agreed that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
[00:34.12]Now, she walks these hills in a long black veil
[00:40.22]She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[00:46.08]
[00:50.87]Nobody knows, nobody sees
[00:56.86]Nobody knows, but me
[01:00.84]The scaffold was high, eternity’s near
[01:07.16]She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
[01:12.41]But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
[01:17.86]In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
[01:24.68]Now, she walks these hills in a long black veil
[01:30.66]She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[01:36.90]
[01:41.15]Nobody knows, nobody sees
[01:46.93]Nobody knows, but me
[01:51.94]The Judge said, “Son, what is your alibi?
[01:56.70]If you were somewhere else, then you won’t have to die”
[02:02.98]I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
[02:08.54]I’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife
[02:14.99]Now, she walks these hills in a long black veil
[02:21.33]She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[02:27.24]
[02:32.08]Nobody knows, nobody sees
[02:37.51]Nobody knows, but me
[02:42.96]Nobody knows, nobody sees
[02:48.95]Nobody knows, but me
