Black Is the Colour (of My True Love's Hair)

Black Is the Colour (of My True Love's Hair) est une chanson traditionnelle. Les premières traces de cette chanson remontent à 1915, dans la région des Appalaches, mais on lui attribue généralement des origines écossaises en raison des allusions faites au fleuve Clyde dans les paroles.

De multiples versions existent; certaines s'adressent à des femmes, d'autres à des hommes, entre autres différences:

  • …like some rosy fair… ou …like a rose so fair…
  • …the prettiest face and the neatest hands… ou …the sweetest face and the gentlest hands…
  • …still I hope the time will come… ou …some times I whish the day will come…
  • …you and I shall be as one… ou …s/he and I can be as one…

On ignore quelle version devrait être considérée comme l'« originale ». On pense généralement que la chanson s'adressait à l'origine à une femme, mais c'est la version de Nina Simone, adressée à un homme, qui a été la plus popularisée, au milieu du XXe siècle.

Par la suite, cette chanson est devenue un classique des répertoires des artistes jouant de la musique celtique.
