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 rendezvous   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
