| Ten years ago on a cold dark night | |
| Someone was 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 | |
| The judge he said, ‽Son, what is your alibi? | |
| If you were somewhere else then 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 | |
| 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 | |
| The scaffold was high and eternity was near | |
| She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear | |
| But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans | |
| In the long black veil, she cries o'er my bones | |
| 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 | |
| There were few at the scene but they all agreed | |
| That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me | |
| The judge he said, Son, what is your alibi? | |
| If you were somewhere else then 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 | |
| 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 | |
| The scaffold was high and eternity was near | |
| She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear | |
| But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans | |
| In the long black veil, she cries o' er my bones | |
| 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 |
