Intro :
T en years ago on a cold dark night
S omeone was killed 'neath the T own Hall l ight
The p eople who saw they all agreed
That the s layer who ran looked a l ot like m e.
The j udge said "son what is your alibi?
If you were s omewheres else then you w on't have to d ie".
I s poke not a word though it meant my life
For I'd b een in the arms of my b est friend's w ife.
She w alks these h ills in a l ong black v eil
V isits my g rave when the n ight winds w ail
N obody knows nobody sees
N obody k nows but m e.
The s caffold is high eternity near
She s tands in the crowd she s heds not a t ear
But s ometimes at night when the cold winds moan
In a lon g black veil she cries o 'er my b ones.
She w alks these h ills in a l ong black v eil
V isits my g rave when the n ight winds w ail
N obody knows nobody sees
N obody k nows but m e.
