In the town, the people stay away From midnight well For it's dark and evil, so they say The midnight well
They'll tell you a tale of a lovely young The fairest that they'd ever known What a beauty, they say But she went her own way On that night, she set out on her own
For they she had a rendezvous At the midnight well With a gypsy man she barely knew At the midnight well
Nobody knew where he came from But they remember fire in his eyes His earring of gold And his hair black as coal And a look that could just hypnotize
When he said Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into the night
Never more, they never saw her face At the midnight well She was gone, and never left a trace At the midnight well
They say when the nights come to an end The harvest moon glows in the sky A black horse will appear and a sound will hear As the ghost of a gypsy flies by
And he says Come come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into the night
Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into the night
Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with into the night
