Jon English was big up here in Scandinavia , both as an actor and artist, and also all over the world. Against the Wind was one of the greatest TV series of all time , starring Mary Larkins and Jon English. If you never watched the series please do and you understand what I mean , RIP Jon.
I love this song. So beautiful. Such a wonderful TV Mini Series too .. RIP John English - Such an amazingly talented man who brought a lot of pleasure to the world.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face ..
Love this song. I met Jon in the music shop across the road from my office when he came to Tauranga, New Zealand, in the late 1970’s. All the office girls went to meet him, shake his hand and get excited to be so close to our singing and acting idol! Wonderful memory!❤️❤️RIP Jon

Sorry to hear about his loss. He was a great aussie actor and singer. His family was lucky to have had him and his legend will live on with his wife,children and grandchildren. So proud to be an Aussie eventhough I am now living in Italy teaching English.Six Ribbons brings back so many great memories so thanx for sharing.It is much appreciated. R:I:P: Jon English.
Was supposed to tour in May, such a loss to the music industry. This I think is one of his best songs, I still have the original 45 single and will now always cherish it. RIP big man with a big heart.

SIX RIBBONS (Words and music by Jon English) If I where a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share If I where a merchant I'd bring you six diamonds with six blood red roses for my love to wear But I am a simple man a poor common farmer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair Yellow and brown, blue as the sky, red as my blood, green as your eye. If I were a nobleman I'd bring you six palaces with six hundred servants for comforting care But I am a simple man a poor common farmer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair If I where a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share so be not afraid, my love, You're never alone, love while you wear my ribbons tie'n back your hair Once I was a simple man a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair Tooralee, tooralie All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair Tooralee, tooralie All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
A very sad loss - "Against the Wind" was hugely popular up here in Scandinavia with several reruns over the years in each country - a truly wonderful and captivating epic Australian TV-series (1978) - one of the best ever! - with many wonderful performances by a score of brilliant actors, first and foremost by Jon English who simply was the leading male part Jonathan Garrett with every fiber of his body. If you have never watched this 13-episode TV-series, you have missed out big time and need to get your hands on it soon - that's how good it is, way above most of the TV that is produced these days and with real, lifelike characters that you feel for and suffer with. RIP Jon E. / Jonathan G.

this version is the best of this song i ever heard... and one of the worlds best song ever made of course... can repeat it again and again and again ....... and again =)
jörgen sällergård ..I like this version as well and no one sings it like Joh...There is also a very good acoustic version from a band called Green Carnation who do the song justice

Saw him at Bankstown sport club last night, had to do a double take. He was carting his own gear out on a trolley. No roadie that sucks great muso doing his own grunt work. At least he's still singing though, keep going Jon

Yellow and brown, blue as the sky, red as my blood, green as your eye.
If I were a nobleman

But I am a simple man a poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
If I where a minstrel
I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share
so be not afraid, my love,
You're never alone, love while you wear my ribbons tie'n back your hair
Once I was a simple man a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
Tooralee, tooralie
All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
Tooralee, tooralie
All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
Only 5 colours mentioned, 2 red ones
what a beautiful love song. Brilliant!!!

Agreed, an incredibly emotionally moving series, well worth the watch.

If I were a minstrel, I?d sing you six love songs
To tell all the world, of the love that we share
If I were a merchant, I?d bring you six diamonds,
With six blood red roses, for my love to wear
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer,
So take these six ribbons, to tie back your hair
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky,
Red as my blood, blue as your eye
If I were a nobleman, I'd bring you six carriages
With six snow white horses, to take you anywhere
If I were the emperor (yellow and brown),
I'd build you six palaces (blue as the sky),
With six hundred servants (red as my blood)
For comforting fare (green as your eyes)
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer,
So take these six ribbons, to tie back your hair
If I were a minstrel, I?d sing you six love songs,
To tell all the world, of the love that we share
So be not afraid my love, you?re never alone love,
While you wear my ribbons, tyin? back your hair
Once I was a simple man, a poor common farmer,
I gave you six ribbons, to tie back your hair
Tooralee, tooralie, all I can share,
Is only six ribbons, to tie back your hair
Tooralee, tooralie, all I can share,
I gave you six ribbons, to tie back your hair
RIP Jon English.
