    Born in Dungiven in 1975, surrounded and infused with the rich cultural heritage of her native County Derry, Cara has risen to become one of the finest exponents of traditional Irish song anywhere in the world. Possessing a rare and unique voice that has been lauded since her very beginnings winning the All Ireland singing trophy aged only 14. Together with her husband and musical partner, Sam Lakeman, she has successfully steered an eclectic musical path defying the typical pigeonholes that hinder most artists in her genre. Celebrated for entwining traditional and contemporary elements she has earned both commercial success and astonishing critical acclaim

    Black is the colour of my true love's hair
    Her lips are like a rose so fair
    She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands
    I love the ground whereon she stands
    I love my love and well she knows
    I love the ground whereon she goes
    And how I wish the day would come
    When she and I can be as one
    Black is the colour of my true love's hair
    Her lips are like a rose so fair
    She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands
    I love the ground whereon she stands
    Oh, whereon she stands
    Oh, whereon she stands
    Oh, whereon she stands
    Oh, whereon she stands
    Oh, whereon she stands
    I go to the clyde and mourn and weep
    Satisfied I never will sleep
    I'll write her a letter, just a few short lines
    And suffer death ten thousand times
    Black is the colour of my true love's hair
    Her lips are like a rose so fair
    She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands
    I love the ground whereon she stands
    I love ground whereon she stands
    Love the ground
