By Lefty Frizzell
(D)Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was(A) someone killed neath the (G)town hall (D)light
(D)There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the (A)slayer who ran looked a (G)lot like (D)me
The judge said son what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else then you won?t have to die
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I?d been in the arms of my best friend?s wife
She (G)walks these (D)hills
in a (G)long black (D)veil
She (G)visits my (D)grave
when the (G)night winds (D)wail
Nobody knows, (G)nobody (D)sees
(G)Nobody (A)knows but (D)me
The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
Chorus
tag:
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
