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)
