[00:20.480] Ten years ago on a cold dark night
[00:27.410] there was someone's killed neath the town hall light
[00:34.900] just few at the scene but they all agreed
[00:42.190] That the man who ran looked a lot like me.
[00:51.480] well, The judge said, Son what is your alibi?
[00:58.580] If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die
[01:06.300] I spoke not a word though it meant my life
[01:13.560] I had been in the arms of my best friends wife.
[01:22.660] She walks these hills in a long black veil
[01:32.400] She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[01:42.380] Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[01:49.510] Nobody knows, but me.
[02:04.090] The scaffold is high an eternity nears
[02:11.500] and She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear
[02:20.740] But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
[02:28.190] and the long black veil, she cries over my bones.
[02:37.740] She walks these hills in a long black veil
[02:47.350] She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[02:57.600] Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[03:05.500] Nobody knows, but me...
