[E]
Ten years ago on a cold dark night there was [B] someone killed [A] beneath the town [E] hall light.
There were few at the scene but they all agreed that the [B] sleigher who ran [A] looked 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 been in the arms of [A] my best [E]
friend's wife.
[A] She walks [E] these hills and [A]
along [E] Blackville [A] she visits [E] my grave [A] when the night [E] winds wheel.
Nobody knows, [A]
nobody [E] sees,
[A] nobody [B]
[E] knows but me.
The scaffold stood high, eternity near, she [B] stood in the crowd [A] and shed [E] not a tear.
But sometimes at night when it's sometimes moon in [B] along Blackville [A] she cries in [E] my bone.
She [A] walks [E] these hills and [A] along [E] Blackville [A] she visits [E] my grave [A] when the night [E] winds wheel.
Nobody knows, [A] nobody [E] sees, [A] nobody [B] knows [E] but me.
