Ten years ago on a cool dark night 十年前，在一个凉爽的黑夜

There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light 有一个人被杀照耀下的市政厅光

There were few at the scene and they all did agree 很少有在现场，他们都没有同意

That the man who ran looked a lot like me 那谁跑看起来很像我的人

   

The judge said "Son, what is your alibi? 法官说：“孩子，你有什么不在场证明？

If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die" 如果你是其他地方，那么你不会有死“

I spoke not a word although it meant my life 我说话不发一语，虽然这意味着我的生活

I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife 我已经在我最好的朋友的妻子的怀抱

   

She walks these hills in a long black veil 她走这山在相当长的黑纱

She visits my grave where the night winds wail 她参观我的坟墓在哪里寒风哀号

Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees 没有人知道，也没有，也没有人看见

Nobody knows but me 没人知道，但我

   

The scaffold was high and eternity neared 该支架为高，接近永恒

She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear 她站在人群中，并没有流下一滴眼泪

But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans 但有时晚上寒风呻吟时，

In a long black veil she cries over my bones 在一个长长的黑色面纱，她哭了我的骨头
