It's been a cruel summer

The sun has been hit by the storms

My darling was bewitched by another

Her black magic tricks stole his heart

I saw her screaming as she twirled her hair

So long and black like the storms

She caught my darling's eye and as quickly as the lightning

I muttered a lonesome goodbye

It's been a cruel summer

The kind that makes grown men turn pale

My darling was bewitched by another

I could not compete with black head

I saw her standing as she twirled her hair

So long and black like the storms

She caught my darling's eye and as quickly as the lightning

I muttered a lonesome goodbye

She caught my darling's eye and as quickly as the lightning

I muttered a lonesome goodbye
