[E]
Ten years ago on a cold dark night there [B] was someone killed
Neath [A] the town [E] hall light.
There were few at the scene
But they all agreed that [B] the slayer who ran looked [A] a lot [E] like me
The judge said, son, what is your alibi?
If you [B] were somewhere else [A] then you won't have [E] to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I [B] had faith in the arms [A] of my best [E] friend's wife
She [A] walks [E] these hills [A] in a long [E] black veil
She [A]
visits [E] my grave when [A] the night [E] winds wail
Nobody [N] knows
