"Black is the Colour" Katy Rooney

Some footage left over from a short film we were making.
"Black Is the Colour" 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 the 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.The first recording was made by Mrs. Lizzie Roberts in 1916 as "Black Is The Colour".
