Follow same chords throughout
Now the scaffold is high eternity near
She stands in a crowd and sheds not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
The long black veil she cries on my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
And she visits my grave when the night winds wail
And nobody knows nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
