1 Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night,
There was someone killed 'neath the Town Hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the man who ran looked a lot like me
cho: She walks these hills in a long black veil,
She visits my grave while the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me
2 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, though it meant my life,
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
cho
The scaffold was high and eternity near
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 o'er my bones
cho
