| Notes: | A haunting country ballad first recorded by Lefty Frizzell, later covered by countless artists. |
DTen years ago on a cold dark night
There was A7someone killed
'neath the Gtown hall Dlight.
DThere were few at the scene
but they all agreed
That the A7slayer who ran
looked a Glot like Dme.
DThe judge said son
what is your alibi?
If you were A7somewhere else
then Gyou won't have to Ddie.
DI spoke not a word
though it meant my life
For I had A7been in the arms
of my Gbest friend's Dwife.
She Gwalks these Dhills
in a Glong black Dveil.
She Gvisits my Dgrave
when the Gnight winds Dwail.
DNobody knows Gnobody Dsees
GNobody A7knows but Dme.
The Dscaffold's high and eternity near
She A7stood in the crowd
and Gshed not a Dtear.
DBut sometimes at night
when the cold wind blows,
In a A7long black veil
she Gcries o'er my Dbones.
She Gwalks these Dhills
in a Glong black Dveil.
She Gvisits my Dgrave
when the Gnight winds Dwail.
DNobody knows Gnobody Dsees
GNobody A7knows but Dme.
GNobody A7knows but Dme.
GNobody A7knows but Dme.
