Thread Name: Origin: Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair
Subject: black is the color?from where?
ofcourse, Christy Moore did a fine job by singing this song (as did Luka Bloom, Nina Simone, Jo Stafford e.o.)
But where does it come from? I know (or suspect) it is old english and the came to the states...?
Please help me out on this one.
