With apologies to purists....

BLACK IS THE COLOUR OF MY TRUE LOVE'S HEART

Black is the colour of my true love's heart
You ask me why, well where would I start ?
She has the meanest smile, the sneakiest of plans
Cursed the ground whereon she stands

I loathe my 'love', I hope she knows
I avoid the ground whereon she goes
My lawyers wrote her numerous lines
But every offer she just declines

We go to trial, she lies and weeps
She testifies that I'm a creep
The judge he rules, and I'm cleaned out
She gets the kids, the dogs, the house

Jack is the fulla with whom she now lives
My kids adore him, he showers them with gifts
Jack's rich and successful, she's wearing his ring
I'm broke and single, death, where's thy sting ?

Black is the colour of my ex-love's soul
When I wed her, I dug my own hole
I hope the day it soon will come
When to some tragedy, she doth succumb
