Take me and love me if you want me
But don't ever treat me unkind
Cause I've had that trouble already
And it left me with a Dark turn of mind

Now I see the bones in the river
And I feel the wind through the pines
And I hear the shadows a coming
To a girl with a dark turn of mind

But oh ain't the night time so lovely to see
And don't all the night birds sing sweetly
You'll never know how happy I'll be
when the sun's going down

But oh ain't the night time so lovely to see
And all of the night birds sing sweetly
Now you'll never know how happy I'll be
when the sun's going down

So leave me if I'm feeling too lonely
And full as the fruit on a vine
You know that some girls are bright as the morning
And some girls have a dark turn of mind
You know that some girls are bright as the morning
Some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind
