[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Now I see the bones in the river
And I feel the wind through the pine
And I hear the shadows a-calling
To a girl with a dark turn of mind

[Bridge]
But oh ain't the nighttime 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

[Verse 3]
And leave 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

[Outro]
You know, some girls are bright as the morning
And some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind
