(Marijohn Wilkin - Danny Dill)

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone killed neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agree
The slayer who ran looked a lot like me.

The judge said son what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
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
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
Nobody knows and 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 all alone.

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows and nobody sees
Nobody knows but me.

Nobody knows but me...
