| I rode down to the river
|
| As the evening shadows fell
|
| I met up with a Lady
|
| Whose name I cannot tell
|
| Her hair was black as night
|
| Her lips like ruby wine
|
| Her skin was pale and white
|
| And how her eyes did shine
|
| Her eyes did shine
|
| She said Sir won’t you come along
|
| Won’t you come along with me
|
| To a place by the river
|
| Where a pleasure waits for thee
|
| We rode into the woods
|
| Till we came upon a shack
|
| Then we stopped and she said:
|
| There’s no way back
|
| There’s no way back
|
| She took me by the hand
|
| 'n pulled me inside
|
| She told me I was gonna be her man
|
| And to her I should abide
|
| She started pullin' off her dress
|
| Her treasures to reveal
|
| She untied her garter belt
|
| She had nothin' to conceal
|
| I kissed her once and I kissed her twice
|
| Then she whispered in my ear:
|
| All I want is a little blood
|
| And it filled my heart with fear
|
| I felt her canine teeth
|
| Cut through my skin
|
| I felt my own blood running down her chin
|
| Down her chin
|
| I picked up a wooden stick
|
| And drove the stake through the heart
|
| When I saw her eyes roll back
|
| I knew she’d played her part
|
| I threw her body in the river
|
| But that was not the end of the song
|
| Coz on my way back to town
|
| I felt my teeth grew sharp and long |
