In the town, the people stay away 

From the midnight well 

For it's dark and evil, so they say 

The midnight well 



They'll tell you a tale of a lovely young maid 

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 say, she had a ??

At the midnight well 

With a gypsy man she barely knew 

At the midnight well 



Nobody knew where he came from 

But they remember the 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 away 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 summer nights come to an end 

The harvest moon glows in the sky 

A black horse will appear and a sound you will hear 

As the ghost of a gypsy flies by 



And he says 

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 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 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 me into the night
