A G D
TDen years ago on a cold dark night
SA7omeone was killed 'neath the TGown Hall lDight
The pDeople who saw they all agreed
That the sA7layer who ran looked a lGot like mDe.
The jDudge said "son what is your alibi?
If you were sA7omewheres else then you wGon't have to dDie".
I sDpoke not a word though it meant my life
For I'd bA7een in the arms of my bGest friend's wDife.
She wGalks these hDills in a lGong black vDeil
VGisits my gDrave when the nGight winds wDail
NDobody knows nobody sees
NGobody kA7nows but mDe.
The sDcaffold is high eternity near
She sA7tands in the crowd she sGheds not a tDear
But sDometimes at night when the cold winds moan
In a lonA7g black veil she cries oG'er my bDones.
She wGalks these hDills in a lGong black vDeil
VGisits my gDrave when the nGight winds wDail
NDobody knows nobody sees
NGobody kA7nows but mDe.
