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 He Said Son What Is Your Alibi
If You Were Somewhere Else Then You Won't Have To Die
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
[ Harmonica ]
The Scaffold Was High And Eternity Was Near
She Stood In The Crowd And Shed Not A Tear
But Sometimes At Night When The Cold Wind Moans
In The Long Black Veil She Cries O'er My Bones
Yes She Walks These Hills In A Long Black Veil...
