In
the cold morning air of the very next day
By her husband’s side, she knelt down to pray
With her head bowed low and her face so pale
In a voice like the wind, the truth she did tell
Her
husband replied, “Woman
tell me why
You spoke not a word and let my best friend die”
“Oh my husband dear, I knew your heart would break
when the truth was told, your own life you would take”
(chorus)
On
a cold dark night, without a soul to save
She wanders these hills and stands by my grave
She pulls back her black veil, her true love to see
and she kisses a man who looks a lot like me
(chorus)
