    There are many interpretations of this Scottish folksong. Esther Ofarim's beautiful rendition of "Black Is the Colour of My True Love's Head" is among the best. This one has stuck with me ever since I first heard it in 1970/71. It was part of an early 1970s German TV "Krimi" called "11 Uhr 20", now available on DVD, but has never been issued separately on CD. Thanks for downloading this song and so making it available for a much wider audience. The film isn't bad either.

    Black is the color of my true love's hair
    His face so soft and wondrous fair
    The purest eyes
    And the strongest hands
    I love the ground on where he stands
    I love the ground on where he stands
    Black is the color of my true love's hair
    Of my true love's hair
    Of my true love's hair
    Oh I love my lover
    And well he knows
    Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
    And still I hope
    That the time will come
    When he and I will be as one
    When he and I will be as one
    So black is the color of my true love's hair
    Black is the color of my true love's hair
    Black is the color of my true love's hair

    I sung this song many years ago and I love this cover. I sang an arrangement by John Jacob Niles. I was studying classical music back then. Hearing this song cover think I will revisit this iconic song and create my own cover. Thank for sharing.

    Joan Baez's is,of course ,the traditional version of the song .I've owned the record since it was released in the 60's. And always loved the song. Esther's version is a totally different arrangement completely styled to the scene in the film,and is also quite wonderful The traditional version would be quite out place in that sophisticated nightclub setting Esther is fully capable of singing either style.Such is her versatility.Can't quite imagine Joan taking on this version though l.o.l.

    I wanted to believe in her .. I really did. But, too theatrical. I really do like Gaelic Storm's version. Not a big time name at all. They just seem to sing this wonderful song more from the gut.
