1.
ETen years ago on a cold dark night
There was Bsomeone killed 'neath the Amtown hall Elight.
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
That the Bman who ran looked a Amlot like Eme.
2.
EThe judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were Bsomewhere else then you Amwon't have to Edie.
I said not a word though it meant my life,
I had Bbeen in the arms of my Ambest friend's Ewife.
CHORUS:
AmShe walks these Ehills Amin a long black Eveil.
AmShe visits my Egrave Amwhen the night winds Ewail.
Nobody knows, no, and Amnobody Esees;
nobody Bknows but Amme.
3.
EThe scaffold was high and eternity near
She Bstood in the crowd and shed Amnot a tear
EBut sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a Blong black veil she Amcries over my Ebones.
