E
The Judge said son, what is your alibi,
A                           B7                  E
if you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die.

I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,

Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near.

But some times at night, when the cold wind moans

In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

When the cold winds blow, and the night winds wail.

Nobody knows, nobody sees.
A      B7         E
Nobody knows, but me.
