T^Cen years ago, on a cold, dark night, Someb^G7ody was killed, 'neath the to^Fwn hall li^Cghts. There were f^Cew at the scene, but they all agreed, That the sl^G7ayer who ran, looked a l^Fot like m^Ce.

She wa^Flks these hi^Clls, in a lo^Fng black v^Ceil, She vi^Fsits my gr^Cave, when the ni^Fght winds w^Cail. Nobody kn^Fows, nobody se^Ces, N^G7obody knows but m^Ce.

The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?", "If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die". And I spoke not a word, though it meant my life, I'd 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. Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near, She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear. But sometimes at night, when a cold wind moans, In a 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.
