Sweep up, little sweeper boy It's you who's got the wig on here Sweep up, little sweeper boy, sweep up Yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow Yellow is the color of the sun And black is the color of A strangled rainbow That's the color of my loss Black is the color of my true love's arrow That's the color of human blood You got a shot of shampoo Though it was made thirty years ago You got a shot of shampoo Though you were made twenty years ago
Speak up, little sweeper boy They are hard of hearing Anything that anyone has to say O they say Yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow Yellow is the color of the sun Black is the color of A strangled rainbow The color of my loss And black is the color of my true love's arrow That's the color of my blood
