[zyggy32]

Paul you are a Legend, I saw you in Dublin, 'You do Something too me' was class I nearly collapsed, Please check out my version sorry bout the 2nd string....Learning Country too :-)

[haylogems]

perfection



[ladycplum]

I'vve heard so many arrangements of this song, this one tops each and every one of them.

[callyjcs]

That violin solo must be the most amazing I have ever heard! Tried to play it the other day but it was quite impossible ;)

[perfectmindreturn]

@callyjcs You're right. This is one of my favourite violin solo. Like a “Sweet home Carolina” Zack Brown Band. :)

Sorry for my terrible english. :(

[forestgumpaed]

stunning song...im impressed.

[SuperLaughOutLoud69]

paul weller is by far the best version

[AeonNetal]

[AKO86Street]

[boots69ish]

Bittersweet

[TheMagroc]

[rockguru123]

[evielf]

awesome vid. good job!

[kellyforhire]

ah good version but can't beat christy moore's!!!

[AZT3CSRH]

Great song. In my opinion the Celtic thunder version was the best tho

[MrJedi2master]

oh what bliss...mr weller always makes it perfect

[guavaflower1]

Sigh!!!

[rath1234567890]

give me christy moore any day

[feefers3]

Love this song. So beautiful. Mr Weller sings it soooooooooooo well.

[lostnparody]

beautiful.........

[sonor1981]

god awful and he could do with a decent haircut ?

[brendzo]

good cover but like many of comments before it couldnt not hold a candle to christy moore and further more u here christy singing it live with more passion!

[DaBhoy1916]

Paul weller aint got shit on christy moores version

[annastereophonics]

love it!

[MsNicola2009]

WONDERFUL

[tobireal]

Great song!

[GodDamnBender]

did you create this? :\

[colm223]

By far without shadow of a doubt the best version ever of this song ever recorded, plus if yer stoned it just pure massages the back of the old neck, ya man-powerful stuff

[DucatiJohnny]

Best Version to date. Weller is like Dylan and McCartney combined but with a more powerful voice.

[87bogey]

Nice Version but the Christy Moore version is the Definitive for me..Go on Christy!!

[jaytwizy]

@87bogey YES DUDE!cannot beat christy!

[vikisisa]

paul weller has a wonderfull beautynes in his voice. This song is very beautifull this way , with those violins and everything.

[JimmyPkelly]

This made my Ears smile

[megara009]

I love ur channel ;) And I'm still in love with St.Trinian,don't worry;)

[ilovejpoon]

very nice. i like this version

[Lanarkish]

Jeez. Paul Weller covers Hamish Imlach! Got oor Hamish daein' this on the 1966 album "XTRA". Hamish Imlach's version iz much better (thanks mainly tae his nifty guitar arrangement and better voice), but glad to hear this lovely song again.

[joseph291]

Stumbled upon this while searching for christys version.I love Christys version, but this has its own merits.

[hill1916]

Not a pick on Christy Moore's version!!

[richiebowen]

Its a Glasgow folk song. Christy Moore was on the Late late show talking about it. So elaihao sorry your wrong.

[dalek79]

if u like this listen to christy moore..his one is much better

[buloo1234]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Fay823]

this is a scottish folk song FACT

[buloo1234]

christy more was doin a gig in scotland nd a singer who wrote this song was singing it b4 he was on stage nd christy moore got it off him ,tats a fact,

[ryan07903]

No it isn't. Black is not a colour.

[Biverix]

you're a bitch.

[joseph291]

@ryan07903 My friend black is a colour.

[glitterballz]

good vid

[Biverix]

Maybe the "true love" was from Clyde? Who knows.. anyway a great song ;)

[Scotsovertheborder]

I like this version, but I doubt that it's Irish. Why would he go to the Clyde to mourn and weep if he was Irish?

It's probably Scottish in origin.

[bennyboyshaw]

excellent!!

[torifairytale]

beautiful

[Freakster1990]

Black is the color of my true love's hair

Her lips are like some roses fair

She has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands.

And I love the ground whereon she stands.

I love my love and well she knows

I love the ground whereon she goes.

I whish the day it soon would come

When she and I could be as one

[russsel3k7]

this is irish

[stenfisher]

Thanks for this version!

[dec222222]

this song really belongs to cara dillon . her take on the song is exceptional . see her live version posted by cagun . its beautiful .

[Jockel66]

no, it belongs to John Jacob Niles

[elaihao]

WRONG this is actually a irish folk song!!!

[MonsterGuitarX]

@elaihao It's supposedly a traditional scottish folk song...hence the clyde reference

[CowFarmMan]

It was written by John Jacob Niles, an american in the style of of Scottish folk song paerhaps while he visited Scotland, hence the clyde referance

[DaBhoy1916]

Christys is by far the best

[cinderella0307]

I "love" Paul Weller - THAT is my favourite version! Thanks for this clip - a good work!

[duff91]

Christy Moore does the best version! But Weller does an ok version!

[keimzeit88]

Thanks for this very beautiful video!

And ... this is one of my favourite songs!

Very well done.

[ds00kg]

Who made the video to this??

[lizthestrummer]

Cara Dillon for me - sorry!

[bokeygotaboot]

I like Niamh Parson's version better.

[Osmeeen]

[MissLuLux3LuMa]

[creativethinker]

thank you :-)

[RedZeppelin]

the best interpretation of this song is in fact by Nina Simone, which is unjustly not available on YouTube from what I can tell

[creativethinker]

Actually, the song is MUCH older than her version. I do love her interpitation, but it's orgins are far older, and much deeper.

Glad you enjoyed this one.

[JohnESea07]

[zokobibi]

Lovingly Delicate!

Of the Best Songs (+tune+lyrics) I have ever listened to!!!

[Reklawniks]

Grew up listening to him thanks to my dad having a little taste, and this is probably my favourite Paul Weller song. I love the lyrics and the sound of his voice. I really wanna see him live now, hopfully I can join my family for it next time he's around.

[cnut12]

an old old song but this is the best version

[LostPirate1977]

Very kool! Viva PW for ever! Cheers from Paris...*LP77*

[creativethinker]

lol I like the song so much I really wish there was a vid so I decided bugger it and slapped the song with another Paul video. I did ask him recently if there was a vid or a dvd compilation with a live performance of it for us all to see.

[jackcoffey]

funny hwo the "have you made up your mind" vid goes perfetcly with this aswell!

class cover!
