I wanna see it painted
Painted black
Black as night
Black as coal
I wanna see the sun
Blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black, yeah

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

**I wanna see it painted
Painted black***

Black as a painting of a black cat in a coal cellar at midnight!

Reminds me of the old Los Bravos tune..

“Black is black
I want my baby back”

Or as some of the military men from the South I was with used to sing in 1967...

Black is black
I want my Darkies back

[old school]

The Rolling Stones were my first thought!
