If you\u2019ve a mind to live for long
So be you son or be you daughter
Heed not the horse who lives in water<\/span><\/p>\n
She\u2019d be the one who would deceive<\/span>
A voice to lure you in so deep
Where you\u2019d only find eternal sleep<\/span><\/p>\n
By river, loch or on the shore<\/span>
And you chance to hear her siren lay
Flee home fear not and don\u2019t delay
Bairns beware the Kelpie\u2019s song
If you\u2019ve a mind to live for long.<\/span><\/p>\n
