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 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
THOUGH IT MEANT MY LIFE
FOR I HAD BEEN
IN THE ARMS
OF MY BEST FRIEND'S
WIFE
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 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
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 BUT ME
NOBODY KNOWS BUT ME
Mmm Mmm Mmm
