The Chieftains

The Chieftains is a traditional Irish band formed in Dublin in November 1962, by Paddy Moloney, Sean Potts and Michael Tubridy. The band had their first rehearsals at Moloney's house, with Tubridy, Martin Fay and David Fallon. Their sound, which is almost entirely instrumental and largely built around uilleann pipes, has become synonymous with traditional Irish music and they are regarded as having helped popularise Irish music across the world. more »

Ten years ago on a cold dark night 
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light 
Just a few at the scene, and they all did agree 
That the man who ran looked a lot like me 

The judge said "Son, what's your alibi? 
If you were somewheres else, then you won't have to die" 
But I spoke not a word, tho' it meant my life 
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife 

Chorus: 
She walks these hills in a long black veil 
Visits my grave when the night winds wail 
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
Nobody knows, but me 

The scaffold is high, eternity near 
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear 
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan 
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones 

Chorus
