[Verse 1]
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer 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
And nobody knows
And nobody sees
And nobody knows, but me

[Verse 2]
The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, well then you won't have to die
And I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife

[Chorus]
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows
And nobody sees
And nobody knows, but me
[Verse 3]
The scaffold was high and eternity near
She moved through the crowd and she shed not a tear
Sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
She visits my grave and 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
