Black Is The Color: Lyrics

As performed by Cisco Houston

John Jacob Niles

Appears on: 
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are something wondrous fair
The purest eyes and the daintiest hands
I love the grass on where she stands

I love my love and well she knows
I love the grass on where she goes
If she on earth no more I see
My life will quickly fade away

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are something wondrous fair
The purest eyes and the daintiest hands
I love the grass on where she stands

Of note:

A completely unconvincing performance with lethargic guitar accompaniment.
