>	The dark lady is a mercedes lackey song

>This is incorrect.  "The Dark Lady" was written (lyrics and music) by a
>lady named Bernadette Gillese and gifted to the Houston band "Ceili's
>Muse" about seven years ago.  It is featured on their 4th album of the
>same title.  When Ceili's Muse broke up a few years ago, rights to the
>song were given to Melanie O'Sullivan, who was the lead singer on that
>album.  She has since performed the song with a few other groups,
>including "Encarnation" - a band I was fortunate enough to belong to.
>With her permission, I am posting the correct lyrics to this song.

>There is also a follow-up song called "Carlotta," written by Diane
>Ullman & Encarnation, which was performed by Encarnation.

>	The Dark Lady
>	by Bernadette Gillese
>
>> A fierce one eyed man named Baron La Bone
>	A meaner pirate had never been known, and he sailed on the Dark
>Lady.
>> A ship strong and sound with a perilous crew
>	And high on the mast the skull and bones flew; fleet and swift
>was the Dark Lady.
>
>> chorus: And every night the Baron would drink a toast!
>			He'd say, "Here's to our lovely Lady host;
>			my one true love."  "Here, here!" the crew
>replied,
>			And the Dark Lady sighed.
>
>> A rich Spanish galleon was spotted one night
>	The Dark Lady's crew prepared for the fight - clash of steel.
>No Spaniards survived it,
>> Except for the maiden with dark eyes so bold
>	Found in the hull with the jewels and gold; La Bone laughed and
>he took her for ransom.
>
>	chorus: And every night the Baron would drink a toast!
>			He'd say, "Here's to our lovely Lady host;
>			my one true love."  "Here, here!" the crew
>replied,
>			And the Dark Lady sighed.
>
>> The girl Charlotta was a beauty quite rare
>	With each passing night La Bone couldn't bear his empty bed.  He
>brought her to it.
>> The Baron soon found he felt more than desire.
>> His love for her grew and his soul filled with fire.  He proclaimed
>> that they would marry.
>>
>> chorus:	That night the Baron drank with jubilee.
>			He said, "Here's to my lovely bride-to-be;
>			My one true love!"  "Here, here!" the crew
>replied
>			And the Dark Lady cried.
>
>> The following night a storm brewed at sea.
>	The Dark Lady saw her chance to be free of her rival, the beauty
>Carlotta.
>> The ship steered herself to the heart of the gale
>> where a wave swept the maiden out over the rail; sweet revenge on an
>> unfaithful lover.
>>
>> chorus:	That night, the Lady drank a toast.
>			She said, "Here's to your lovely Lady host,
>			Your one true love!"  No voices replied.
>			And the Dark Lady smiled.
>
>> And now any night when a storm fills the sky
>	They say that a ghost ship sails in its eye - fleet and swift is
>the Dark Lady.
>> A ship strong and sound with a perilous crew
>	And high on the mast the skull and bones flew while the captain
>gazes out to sea.
>
>> chorus: And every night the Baron must drink a toast.
>			He'd say, "Here's to our lovely Lady host;
>			my one true love."  "Here, here!" the ghost crew
>replies,
>			And the Dark Lady sighs.
