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.

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.
