Ten years ago on a cold dark night, |
|
someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights. |
|
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed, |
|
that the man who ran looked a lot like me. |
|
Chorus ~ 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 friends wife. |
|
Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near. |
|
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear. |
|
But some times at night, when the cold wind moans |
|
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones |
|
Chorus ~ She walks these hills, in a long black veil. |
|
When the cold winds blow, and the night winds wail. |
|
No body knows, no body sees. |
|
No body knows, but me. |
