T en years ago on a cold dark night
S omeone was killed beneath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
T hat the slayer who ran looked a l ot like me
S he walks these hi lls in a l ong black ve il
S he visits my gr ave when the n ight winds wail
Nobod y knows nobody sees
N obody k nows but m e
T he judge said son what is your alibi
I f you were somewhere else then you won't have to di e.
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
I been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Now the scaffold is high and eternity is near
S he stood in a crowd and shed not a t ear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
I n a long black veil she cries over my bones
S he walks these h ills in a l ong black v eil
S he visits my g rave when the ni ght winds wai l
Nobod y knows nobody sees
N obody kn ows but me
Nobod y knows nobody sees
N obody kno ws but me
