Ribbon o' darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I've never had before
Ribbon o' darkness over me
Clouds are gather' o'er my head
They chill the day and hide the sun
And shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon o' darkness over me
Rain is fallin' on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now he is gone from the meadow
My love, goodbye
Ribbon o' darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing
Ribbon o' darkness over me
In this cold room lyin'
Don't wanna see no one but you
Oh, I wish I could be dyin'
To forget you
How I wish your heart could see
How mine just aches and breaks all day.
Come on back and take away
Ribbon o' darkness over me
Come on back and take away
Ribbon o' darkness over me
