    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.
