Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 around
[Verse 2]
For 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, ride
[Verse 3]
So 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 around
[Verse 4]
They say a tall dark stranger is a demon
And that a devil rides closely by his side
With no warning he can strike like the thief in the night
Then jump up on his pony and ride, ride, ride
[Verse 5]
So 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 around
So don't let no stranger hang around
