Ribbon of darkness over me    Since my true love walked out the door Tears I never had before Ribbon of darkness over me   Clouds a-gatherin’ o’er my head That chill the day and hide the sun That shroud the night when day is done Ribbon of darkness over me   Rain is falling in the meadow Where once my love and I did lie Now she is gone but not for gotten My love goodbye   Ribbon of darkness over me Where once the world was young as spring Flowers  bloom and birds sing Ribbon of darkness over me   SOLO In this cold room lyin’ Don’t want to see no one but you Lord I wish I could be dyin’ To forget you   Ribbon of darkness over me Since my true love walked out the door Tears I never had before Ribbon of darkness over me   Ribbon of darkness over me
