Thread Name: Lyr Add: Black and White ('The ink is black...)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The ink is Black
According to Sing Out (1959), this song was written c. 1955, with one more verse:
Their robes were black, their heads were white The schoolhouse doors were closed so tight Were closed up tight Nine judges all set down their names To end the years and years of shame Years of shame The robes were white, the heads were white (Whistle tune)
