Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed beneath the townhall light
There were few at the scenebut they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knowsnobody seesnobody knows but me

The judge said "sonwhat is your aliby?
If you were somewhere elsethen you wont have to die."
I said not a wordthough it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
Ohshe walks these hills in a long black veil.
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
Nobody knowsnobody seesnobody knows but me.

Ohnow the scaffold is higheternity is near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
And sometimes at night when the cold winds blow
In a long black veil she cries over my bones.
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knowsnobody seesnobody knows but me.

Ohshe walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knowsnobody seesnobody knows but me.

Nobody knows. nobody knowsbut me.
Nobody knows but me.
