White's for the wedding that I'll never see blue is for heartaches that he gave to me

Green were those two eyes that stole him away

Gray were the darks skies on that tragic day

Black was the gun that I drew from my side

Red fload the blood where's my false lover's died

Brown was the earth that they threw on his grave

Yellow the flower that over him wave

[ piano ]

Black was the robe on the old judge that day

White was my face when he said you must pay

Blue are the tears that I shed in myself red are the roses that other folks dwell

Gold was my hair when they first sentenced me it will be silver when they set me free

Gone is the rainbow that shone up above life lost its color when I lost my love

Life lost its color when I lost my love
