Lyrics

A young man on a night black horse
Came riding through the wind and rain
Afraid of those who came behind
To try to take him back again
Seven times round, put you into the ground
Can you hear the devil calling?
All on your own by the sanctuary stone
As the winter rain starts falling
For he had slain his own true love
The day before they were to wed
He slanted on his big black steed
And left his lady lying dead
Seven times round, put you into the ground
Can you hear the devil calling?
All on your own by the sanctuary stone
As the winter rain starts falling
He's rode all through the day and night
And rode again another day
But still they followed close behind
That never he might ride away
Seven times round, put you into the ground
Can you hear the devil calling?
All on your own by the sanctuary stone
As the winter rain starts falling
At last, he's reached the sanctuary stone
Time to stop and rest a while
So here's to you, my young man, oh
You'll never take me without trial
Seven times round, put you into the ground
Can you hear the devil calling?
All on your own by the sanctuary stone
As the winter rain starts falling
