The long black veil...

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night 
Someone was 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, thou it meant my life 
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife 

[Chorus:] 
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 

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 ov're my bones
