Ciara Considine: Song Info

"Black Is The Colour"

(Traditional/Arr. Ciara Considine)

This song dates back to the 18th century, the lyrics finally recorded in Dublin around 1916. Many believe it to be of Scottish origin from the line "I go to the Clyde". For me, it's one of the most beautiful and intimate of all these traditional Celtic folksongs.
