Ten years ago on a cold dark night, |
| [00:15.61] |
Someone was killed ‘neath the Town Hall light |
| [00:24.28] |
The people who saw they all agreed |
| [00:31.21] |
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me. |
| [00:43.51] |
The judge said, “son, what is your alibi? |
| [00:49.99] |
If you were somewheres else, |
| [00:53.61] |
Then you won’t have to die”. |
| [00:58.92] |
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life, |
| [01:05.73] |
For I’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife. |
| [01:14.43] |
She walks these hills in a long black veil, |
| [01:22.74] |
Visits my grave when the night winds wail, |
| [01:31.91] |
Nobody knows, nobody sees, |
| [01:38.97] |
Nobody knows, but me. |
| [01:48.95] |
The scaffold is high, eternity near, |
| [01:56.13] |
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear, |
| [02:04.56] |
But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan, |
| [02:11.36] |
In a long black veil she cries o’er my bones. |
| [02:19.40] |
She walks these hills in a long black veil, |
| [02:29.14] |
Visits my grave when the night winds wail, |
| [02:37.44] |
Nobody knows, nobody sees, |
| [02:44.37] |
Nobody knows, but me. |
