[ Featuring The Lawmen ]
Ten years ago
On a cold dark night
Someone was killed
'Neath the Town Hall light
Few were at the scene
But they all did agree
The slayer who ran
Looked a lot like me
The judge said, "son
What is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else
You won't have to die"
Well I spoke not a word
Although 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, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
