Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
There were a few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
The judge said son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
Well, I said not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
[Verse 4]
Oh, 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
[Verse 5]
Oh now, the scaffold is high, eternity is near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
Oh, sometimes at night when the cold winds blow
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
[Verse 6]
Oh, 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
[Verse 7]
Oh, 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
[Verse 8]
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
[Verse 9]
Nobody knows but me, yeah
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me...
