Lyrics

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light
Few were at the scene, but they all did agreed
That the man who ran looked a lot like me
The judge said, "Son what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you don't have to die"
I said not a word though it meant my life
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
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 scaffold was high, and eternity nears
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil she cries 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, nobody knows but me, nobody knows but me

I really hope someone plays this for Garth Hudson if it hasn't happened already before he passes, I think he'd dig it!

This is the first time I heard this version. I like it, but I’m not a fan of this genre of music. This is a timeless song and whatever genre it’s played in, it’s always played very well.
