Ten years a-go
on a cold dark night,
Some-one was killed 'neath the Town Hall light
The peo-ple who saw they all a-greed
That the slay-er who ran
looked a lot like me.
The judge said, 'son, what is your al-i-bi?
If you were some-wheres else,
then you won't have to die'.
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
For I'd been in the arms
of my best friend's wife.
She walks these hills
in a long black veil,
Vis-its my grave when the
night winds wail,
No- bod-y knows, no-bod-y sees,
No- bod-y knows, but me.
