[1] Chwyty na gitarę
CTen years ago, on a cold dark night,GSomeone was killed, 'neath the Ftown hall Clight.CThere were few at the scene, but they all agreed,GThat the slayer who ran, looked a Flot like Cme.Chorus
CShe Fwalks these Chills in a Flong black Cveil.She
Fvisits my Cgrave when the Fnight winds Cwail.CNobody knows, Fnobody Csees,GNobody knows but Cme.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, thou it meant my life,
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
Chorus
Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near,
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear.
But late at night, when the north wind blows,
In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones.
Chorus
