Original Lyrics and Music by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin



Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night

Someone was killed beneath the town hall light

There were few at the scene

But they all agreed

That the slayer who ran

Looked a lot like me



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



The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?

If you were somewhere else,

Then you won't have to die."

Well, I said not a word

Though it meant my life

For I'd been in the arms

Of my best friend's wife



Oh, 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



Oh now, the scaffold was high

Eternity is near

She stood in the crowd

And shed not a tear



Oh, sometimes at night

When the cold winds blow

In a Long Black Veil

She stands over my bones



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



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

Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me



Nobody knows but me...



Nobody knows...

Nobody knows...

Nobody knows... but me.
