When the desert sand blows sulfer to the air And the winter nights bring maidens to despair Ahh-dee-ahh^ahh^ahh, Ahh-dee-ahh^ahh^ahh When the sky is black and moon is full and round Then you'll hear her cry and hear her soul abound Ahh-dee-ahh^ahh^ahh, Ahh-dee-ahh^ahh^ahh Desert Rose she'll come to thee Sweeter than the honey bee Lips so red you'll long to taste The deadly itch the cold embrace Desert Rose she'll steal your heart Make mockery of every part Till your bones are bleached and bare And wandering in death's despair Ahh-dee-ahh^ahh^ahh, Ahh-dee-ahh^ahh^ahh Ahh-dee-ahh^ahh^ahh, Ahh-dee-ahh^ahh^ahh
