Is she the one mother warned me about?
With promises as vast as the ocean
Her empty tongue poisoned my heart
With words of eternal devotion

Oh mysterious stranger
Oh dah dah dah

Is she the one mother warned me about?
With hands soft and cold as the grave dirt
At a mastery ball, in a house by the sea
She held me so tight till it started to hurt

Oh mysterious stranger
Oh la dah dah
Where did she come from, and wherе has she been
Beware thе serpent in the skin of woman

Is she the one mother warned me about?
Her eyes seemed to burn me like hot coals
Her figure so trim, her features so fair
A creature of sadness and shadows

Oh mysterious stranger
Oh la dah dah dah
Is she the one mother warned me about?
With witches enough for a kingdom
Mother, please help me for I cannot tell
Is she my true love or a demon from hell

Oh mysterious stranger
Oh la dah dah
Where did she come from, and where has she been
Beware the serpent in a skin of woman

Oh oh mysterious stranger
Oh oh dah dah dah
