A [kelpie] literally is an Irish mythological [water horse], and if you tried to ride it its skin would turn adhesive and it would drag you into the water, [drown you], and eat you. Used figuratively in slang it means a girl who would (metaphorically) do the same: she seems very alluring, and when you give her a piece of your heart you cant escape from her until she has dragged you into the water and you have drowned, so to speak.
