Heres two mischevious angels of song Jane and Jenny Holohan together they call themselves "The Holohan sisters and are from from Dublin Ireland. Jane on vocals and Jenny on guitar and vocals create the sort of harmonies to die for. This essentialy Irish traditional duo draw many of their songs from the songbooks of Ewan Mccoll and here they give us there lovely version of "Black Is the Colour of My True Love's Hair" which is probably where they got this song from.
"Black Is the Colour (of My True Love's Hair)" (Roud 3103) is a traditional folk song first known in the Appalachian Mountains region of the United States in 1915, but most probably originating from Scotland, as attributed to the reference to Clyde in the song's lyrics. The musicologist Alan Lomax supported this Scottish origin saying the song was an American "re-make of British materials."[1] The first recording was made by Mrs. Lizzie Roberts in 1916 as "Black Is The Colour".

Many different versions of this song exist, some addressed to females and others addressed to males, as well as other differences:
