Black But Comely
Baby Dee

I'm black but comely

As a night shot with stars

I'm black but comely

As a night shot with stars

And I'm not a tree of sticks

No, I'm not a tree of sticks

But a forest of hemlocks and beeches

Of waters dark as wine from boundless reaches

Black but comely

As a night shot with stars


I tried to find you

And I missed you by a mile


The soldiers found me

And they took me for a whore



If I can't have you

I can love you just the same


I'm black but comely

As the smoke of home

I'm black but comely

As the smoke of home

And I'm not a tree of sticks

No. I'm not a tree of sticks

But a forest of hemlocks and beeches

Of waters dark as wine from boundless reaches

Black but comely

As a night shot with stars

As a night shot with stars
