Thread Name: Skin color in songs & singers' names
Subject: RE: Skin color in songs & singers' names
Here's an Irish song that definitely refers to skin color not hair color: "The Banks of Ponchartrain"

All strangers there, no friends to me

'Til a dark girl towards me came

And I fell in love with a creole girl

On the banks of Ponchartrain.
