[Verse 1]
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light
Few were at the scene but they all did agree
The slayer who ran looked a lot like me
[Verse 2]
The judge said, "Son what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else, you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word although it meant my life
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
[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
[Verse 3]
The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones
[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
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light
Few were at the scene but they all did agree

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 scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones
[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
