Take me and love me if you want me

But don't ever treat me unkind

Cause i had that trouble already

And it left me with a dark turn of mind

Now i see the bones in the river

I feel the wind through the pines

And i hear the shadows a-calling

To a girl with a dark turn of mind

But Oh ain't the nighttime so lovely to see

And don't all the nightbirds sing sweetly

You never know how happy i be

When the sun's going down

Believe me if i'm feeling too lonely

Full as the fruit on the vine

You know some girls

Are bright as the morning

And some have a dark turn of mind

You know some girls

Are bright as the morning

And some girls are blessed

With a dark turn of mind
