[Lyrics]
 
Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair
In the mornin' when we rise, in the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time, I love the best
 
Blue's the colour of the sky
In the mornin' when we rise, in the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time, I love the best
 
Green's the colour of the sparklin' corn
In the mornin' when we rise, in the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time, I love the best
 
Mellow is the feeling that I get
When I see her, mm hmm, when I see her, uh huh
That's the time, that's the time, I love the best
 
Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinkin', mm hmm, Without thinkin', mm hmm
Of the time, of the time, When I've been loved
