(Gary Moore)

It was a cold black night,
and the rain was falling down
It was a cold black night,
and the rain was falling down
It was a cold black night,
the night that my baby left town

It was the darkest day,
and the wind was howlin' through
It was the darkest day,
and the wind came howlin' through
It was the darkest day,
day my baby said we're through

Oh, come back baby,
never did you no wrong
Come back baby,
I never did you no wrong
I've been sleeping in the ground
ever since your love been gone

It was a cold black night,
and the rain was falling down
It was a cold black night,
and the rain was falling down
It was a cold black night,
the night my baby left town
Yeah

It was the darkest day,
and the wind came howlin' through
It was the darkest day,
and the wind came howlin' through
It was the darkest day,
the day my baby said we're through

It was a cold black night
It was a cold black night
It was a cold black night
It was a cold black night

It was a cold black night,
and the rain was falling down
It was a cold black night,
and the rain was falling down
It was a cold black night,
the night my baby left this town
Yes

It was a cold black night
It was a cold black night
It was a cold black night
It was a cold black night
It was a cold black night,
the night my baby left town

It was a cold black night
