Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light
The people who saw now they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked just like meThe judge said Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewheres else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wifeShe walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
And nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The scaffold is high, eternity near
She stands in the crowd but shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries on my bonesShe walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
And nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, nobody knowsI said, nobody knows, nobody, nobody sees
Nobody knows but meNobody knows
