GTen years ago on a cool dark night
There was Dsomeone killed 'neath the Ctown hall Glight
GThere were few at the scene and they all did agree
That the Dman who ran looked a Clot like Gme
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 Cwalks these Ghills in a Clong black Gveil
She Cvisits my Ggrave where the Cnight winds Gwail
GNobody knows, no, and Cnobody Gsees
CNobody Gknows Dbut Cme
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
