(D. Del, M. Wilkins)
2
She walks these hills in a long black veil
3
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
4
Nobody knows, nobody sees
5
Nobody knows but me
6
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
7
Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light
8
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
9
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
10
The judge he said: Son, what is your alibi
11
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
12
But I spoke not a word though it meant my life
13
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife
14
Now the scaffold is high and eternity is near
15
She stood in the crowd but shed not a tear
16
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
17
In a long black veil she cries on my bones
