Some actual songs:


Kelpie by John Duncan
Kelpie – Jethro Tull

There was a warm wind with the high tide on the south of the hill.
When a young girl went a-walking and I followed with a will.
"Good day to you, my fine young lady, with your lips so sweetly full.
May I help you comb your long hair, sweep it from that brow so cool?''

Chorus:
Up, ride with the kelpie.
I'll steal your soul to the deep.
If you don't ride with me while the devil's free
I'll ride with somebody else.

Well I'm a man when I'm feeling the urge to step ashore.
So I may charm you not alarm you. Tell you all fine things, and more.

[chorus]

Say goodbye to all your dear kin for they hate to see you go
in your young prime, to this place of mine in the still loch far below.

[chorus x 2]
