Verse 1
on a cold dark night,
B

beat the town whole light.
There were few at the scene,
but they all agreed

looked a lot like me
Well, the judge said, son,
what is your alibi?
B
F#
and you won't have to die
B
F#
But I spoke not a word,
although it meant my life
B
F#
of my best friend's wife
B
F#
She walks these hills
B
F#
in a long black veil
B
F#
Visits my grave
B

when the night winds wave

Nobody knows, nobody sees,

Now the scaffold is high, eternity's near

but shed not a tear
And sometimes at night,
when the cold wind moans

In a long black veil, she cries,
B

She walks these hills

in a long black veil.
