Ten years ago on a cool dark night 
There was someone killed `neath the town hall light 
There were few at the scene and they all did agree   
That the man who ran looked a lot like me 
 
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 although it meant my life   
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 where the night winds wail 
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees   
Nobody knows but me  
 
The scaffold was high and eternity neared   
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear   
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans   
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
