Beware of a tall dark stranger if he comes ridin' into your town
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger) so don't let no stranger hang around
For he can capture the heart of a woman
With one glance from his flashing brown eyes

Like a bolt from the blue he can steal her from you
Then jump up on his pony and ride ride ride
So beware of a tall dark stranger...

They say a tall dark stranger is a demon and that a devil rides closely by his side
With no warning he can strike like the thief in the night
Then jump up on his pony and ride ride ride

So beware of a tall dark stranger...
So don't let no stranger hang around
