Lyrics

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
 Someone was killed beneath the Town Hall light
 There were few at the scene but they all agreed
 That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
 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 judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
 If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"
 Well, I said not a word, though it meant my life
 For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
 Oh, 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
 Oh, now the scaffold is high, eternity is near
 She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
 Oh, sometimes at night when the cold winds blow
 In a long black veil she cries over 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
 ♪
 Oh, 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
 Nobody knows, nobody sees
 Nobody knows but me
 Nobody knows but me
 Nobody knows but me
 Nobody knows
 Nobody knows but me
 ♪
 Nobody knows but me
 Nobody but me
 Nobody knows but me
 ♪
 Nobody, nobody
 Nobody knows
 Nobody knows but me
 Nobody, nobody
 ♪
 The lovely ladies
