about

A cover of the classic by Nina Simone: Black is the color of my True Love's Hair

lyrics

Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands

Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color,
The Color of my true love's hair

Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color,
The Color of my true love's hair

Oh, I love my lover and well he knows
Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope that the time will come
When he and I will be as one
When he and I will be as one
One, One

Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color,
The Color of my true love's hair

Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color,
The Color of my true love's hair

I'd go to the Nile
And I'd moan and weep
For satisfied I never would be
I would never be
I'd write you a letter
Just a few short lines
And fix my hair a thousand times
And fix my hair a thousand times
Times, Times

Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color,
The Color of my true love's hair

Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color
Black is the color, the color,
The Color of my true love's hair
