1
She walks these hills in a long black veil
2
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
3
Nobody knows, nobody sees
4
Nobody knows but me
5
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
6
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
7
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
8
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
9
The judge said son, what is your alibi
10
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
11
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
12
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
13
She walks these hills in a long black veil
14
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
15
Nobody knows, nobody sees
16
Nobody knows but me
17
Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity near
18
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
19
But late at night, when the north wind blows
20
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
21
She walks these hills in a long black veil
22
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
23
Nobody knows, nobody sees
24
Nobody knows but me
