http://www.aranyzoltan.hu/ Irish - Hungarian coproduction 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 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. 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 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.

Beautiful music ! a favourite folk song beautifully covered - speaks to the soul - thank you Beautiful I'm in love with this song He didn't write it though - as I mentioned in a previous post, this is listed in the Roud Folk Song Index (record 3103) as being collected in the Appalachian Mountains, 1915. The first recording on record was in 1916. It almost certainly is from Scottish roots, due to mention of the river Clyde, which runs through Glasgow. Er, no. Black is the Colour is listed in the Roud Folk Song Index (Roud 3103) as being collected in the Appalachian Mountains region of the United States in 1915, but probably originates in Scotland, due to mention of the river Clyde. The first known recording was by Mrs. Lizzie Roberts in 1916. so beautiful country, i wish one i can go! Hi guys this was originally wrote by a scottish poet singer hamiish imlach ....about a lost love hope this helps..slain @Elle Shaughnessy it mentions the Clyde (River) suggesting its Scottish, although it could easily be a bit of both. It is believed the song originates from Scotland, as it mentions the Clyde in the first or second verse, which is an area in Scotland. Christy Moore is a good artist all the same, but many folk songs have different origins. This is Irish though not Scottish. Hon christy Moore. He's the man. I would name this as " Echo from Heaven" This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard :) Best version ever of this song!!! what a beautiful country ive been all over asia but not to europe gorgeous senary  Visiting Scotland soon..... Beautiful. A lovely simple version, thank you!! Awesome pics! I went to Scotland last year and I loved it!!! Being australian I'd never seen anything like it beautiful!!! I love the use of the photos of the places these songs are sourced from. It really recreates the mood of the places that must have inspired the original composers and signers of these folk treasures! Bravo, Mr Zoltan! May you never run out of notes! Egyszerűen csodálatos. u couldnt get better pictures unbelevable views , track isnt bad either Beautiful photography! The song as it is now can only be traced back in print to the US about a century ago however it was a version of a much older British song, probably from Scotland originally but known throughout the island. No doubt it was around in Ireland too but it only became well known in Ireland after Hamish Imlach the Scots folk singer taught the song to Christy Moore.
