Story behind the song
I love this song,a sad song about a love that is gone
Lyrics
Black is the colour Black is the colour of my true love's hair, Her lips are like some roses fair, She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands, And I love the ground, Whereon she stands. I love my love and well she knows, I love the ground, whereon she goes, I wish the day, it soon would come, When she & I could be as one. I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep, For satisfied, I ne'er can be, I write her a letter, just a few short lines, And suffer death, a thousand times Black is the colour of my true love's hair, Her lips are like some roses fair, She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands, I love the ground, Whereon she stands.

I have always loved the melody to this song, and you present it very well Carlos The slide work is full of the passion the song deserves and the recording & production are right up there :) GREAT WORK!
