Ten years ago,on a cold dark night. Someone was killed ,neath the town hall light. There were few at the scene,but the all agreed that the slayer 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,thou it met my life. For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
She walks these hill.in a long black veil. She visits my grave.when the night winds wail. Nobody knows,nobody sees. Nobody knows but me
|
|
Oh the scaffold is high and eternity's near. She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear. But late at night,when the north wind blows. In a long black veil,she cries o're my bones.
|
|
Repeat chorus.
