Ribbon of darkness over me Since my true love walked out the door Tears I never had before Ribbon of darkness over me Clouds a-gatherin' o'er my head That chill the day and hide the sun That shroud the night when day is done Ribbon of darkness over me Rain is falling in the meadow Where once my love and I did lie Now she is gone but not for gotten My love goodbye Ribbon of darkness over me Where once the world was young as spring Flowers bloom and birds sing Ribbon of darkness over me SOLO In this cold room lyin' Don't want to see no one but you Lord I wish I could be dyin' To forget you Ribbon of darkness over me Since my true love walked out the door Tears I never had before Ribbon of darkness over me Ribbon of darkness over me
