[Verse]
Ten years ago on a cold, dark night,
Someone was killed neath the town hall light,
The people who saw, they all agreed,
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.

[Chorus]
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me.

[Verse]
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die",
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.

[Chorus]
Shе walks these hills in a long black veil,
Visits my gravе when the night winds wail,
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me.

[Verse]
The scaffold is high, eternity's near,
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear,
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan,
In her long black veil she cries o'er my bones.

[Chorus]
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me.
