The Judge said, "Son, what is your alibi
Nobody knows, but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
But some times at night, when the cold wind moans
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
The scaffold is high, and eternity's near
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
Now she walks these hills, in a long black veil
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
Nobody knows, but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
