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 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
