Close your eyes against the sunlight where scarlet pools lie deep
like the rivers and the lochs where the water spirits sleep
beneath the rocks and stones there's secrets that they keep
down below black water, below black water deep

Beneath the lowering sky where darkness reaches green
on a hill above a burn a proud mare was seen
wild were her eyes her flanks were strong and lean
gazing down into black water, into black water deep

Along the open road a traveller came by and by
the darkling pool the proud mare he did spy
grazing all alone with no one by her side
down beside black water, beside black water deep

His journey had been long the travel had been slow
and weary were his feet with many miles to go
he thought to take the horse and upon her back he'd go
and ride away from black water, from black water deep
ride away from black water, from black water deep

So to the horse he came with freedom on his mind
and holding to her mane upon her back he climbed
but kelpies won't be tamed so never shall her ride
away from black water, from black water deep

Her scream pierced the sky worse than a banshee's shriek
the mare reared up high as sparks flew from her feet
and with a roar like thunder from the bank did leap
down into black water, into black water deep

So beware the shape shifter that lives beneath the tides
it's down by the river the bold kelpie rides
and in the watery grave the ghosts of travellers bide
down below black water, below black water deep
down below black water, below black water deep
