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 aroundFor 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, rideSo 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 aroundThey say a tall dark stranger is a demon
And that a devil rides closely by his side
With no warning he can strike, like a thief in the night
Then jump up on his pony and ride, ride, rideSo beware of a tall dark stranger
If he comes ridin' into your town
A tall dark stranger is danger
(Danger)
