Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone shot 'neath the town hall light
Few were at the scene but they all agree
That the man did the shooting looked a lot like me
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave while the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me
The scaffold was high, and eternity near
