There was a warm wind with the high tide
on the south of the hill.
When a young girl went a-walking
and I followed with a will.
``Good day to you, my fine young lady
with your lips so sweetly full.
May I help you comb your long hair ---
sweep it from that brow so cool?``
Up, ride with the kelpie.
I`ll steal your soul to the deep.
If you don`t ride with me while the devil`s free
I`ll ride with somebody else.
Well I`m a man when I`m feeling
the urge to step ashore.
So I may charm you --- not alarm you.
Tell you all fine things, and more.
Up, ride with the kelpie.
I`ll steal your soul to the deep.
If you don`t ride with me while the devil`s free
I`ll ride with somebody else.
Say goodbye to all your dear kin ---
for they hate to see you go
in your young prime, to this place of mine
in the still loch far below.
Up, ride with the kelpie.
I`ll steal your soul to the deep.
If you don`t ride with me while the devil`s free
I`ll ride with somebody else.
