Blue Is The Color (Of My True Love’s Hair)
Words & Music by John DeLore
Oh, there she goes. That’s the one I love.
A shovel in her hand and the smoke in her lung.
A blossom from the briar casts a shadow on the sun.
She still remembers how the west was won.
Bright red lips, a grey metal gun.
Running with the wind in the midnight sun.
She cut across the county line, where the wine of error runs so free.
She cut across her Daddy’s farm. She cut down his cherry tree.
Bright red lips, a grey metal gun.
Running with the wind in the midnight sun.
I understand she been underground
On a Greyhound bound for nowhere.
That’s where she learned her heart was true & fair.
Oh, blue is the color of my true love’s hair.
Oh, there she goes. That’s the one I love.
Rolls away the stone and brings the calling back to us.
Summer come to Autumn, push come to shove.
We still remember how the west was won.
Bright red lips. Lay down the gun.
Runnin’ with the wind in the midnight sun.
I understand she been underground
On a Greyhound bound for nowhere.
That’s where she learned her heart was true & fair.
Oh, blue is the color of my true love’s hair.
Yeah, blue is the color of my true love’s hair.
