Singletary, Daryle - She Sure Looks Good In Black Lyrics






Tears roll down her face
Cross the black satin lace
Onto the finest suit
I've ever worn
All my friends are gathered round
Looks like the whole town turned out
To see her cry
Like she's never cried before

My momma hates her
My daddy blames her
My sister swears it's all an act
But if she had wore red
She could have raised the dead
But my lord, that woman sure looks good in black

She walked in and stole the thunder
From all the pretty flowers
For a minute, I thought she was coming back
But she just came to say goodbye
To a cold old love that died
Oh my lord, that woman sure looks good in black

Close enough to reach her
Right in front of the preacher
She showed everybody how to grieve with class
As sure as I live and breathe
Even this dead man can see
Oh my lord, that woman sure looks good in black

Yes my lord, that woman sure looks good in black

  1. E.... S....

    The best there will ever be right here rip brother

  2. B.... O....

    A great and under appreciated artist in the true country style! R.I.P. Daryle!

  3. Y.... J....

    Awesome

  4. M.... R....

    I absolutely love Daryle, but that preacher at the beginning is unbearable. What a joke.

  5. C.... H....

    Please God give Daryle back to us we love him to. I know it was a glorious day in heaven When you called your son home. RIP BROTHER. 👑 🌹💐.

  6. J.... 4....

    I don’t know about y’all but I would have listened to Ol Daryle sing the phone book! RIP Mr Singletary!

  7. G.... K....

    RIP FEB 12, 2018 Died at home, age 46

  8. G.... Y....

    Rest in peace real country music singer ps what do you think folks out there listener Glenn Linda cats in Oklahoma u s a god bless you

  9. e.... ....

    What a powerful song - in my opinion, it's right up there with "He Stopped Loving Her Today."

  10. J.... L....

    Before Daryle Singletary came along, it was said that Keith Whitley had the greatest voice in country music. Then, in 1995, this man became a new #1 contender. I got to see him open for Randy Travis & Sammy Kershaw early on his career... and I only wish I'd gotten to see him more often.

  11. T.... I....

    Such a beautiful voice! This is what real country music should sound like!

  12. T.... V....

    One of my favorite singers. RIP Daryle

  13. S.... B....

    With Rhonda singing harmony. Daryle you were Country Music. I am gone now to meet my Savior. Maybe we can sing one together now? God Bless Shannon Marie Burns.

  14. G.... Y....

    Rest in peace darrel stingery

  15. G.... Y....

    Amen listener brand new channel owner Glenn Linda cats in Oklahoma

  16. D.... K....

    It's like these guys are destined to die young great voice love this guy

  17. C.... R....

    One of the greatest voices we've ever known. I put him right up there with Gene Watson, Mel Street, Ed Bruce and Vern Gosdin. They don't get any better. What a tremendous loss.

  18. M.... H....

    I hate that I just ran across him a few weeks ago. Listening to him feels like I've known him a lifetime

  19. M.... D....

    Most under-rated artist in Country music history

    M.... D....

    He was Country Music personified.

  20. j.... b....

  23. T.... B....

    Tears roll down her face
    across the black satin lace,
    onto the finest suit
    I've ever wore.
    all my friends are gathered round
    looks like the whole town turned out,
    to see her cry
    like she's never cried before.
    my mama hates her
    my daddy blames her,
    my sister swears it's all an act.
    but if she had wore red
    she could have raised the dead,
    but my lord that women
    sure looks good in black.
    she walked in and stole the thunder
    from all the pretty flowers,
    for a minute I thought
    she was coming back.
    bust she just came to say goodbye
    to a cold ol ' love that died,
    oh my lord that woman
    sure looks good in black.
    close enough to reach her
    right in front of the preacher,
    she showed everybody
    how to grieve with class.
    as sure as I live and breath
    even this dead man can see,
    oh my lord that women
    sure looks good in black
    she walked in and stole the thunder
    from all the pretty flowers,
    for a minute I thought
    she was coming back.
    bust she just came to say goodbye
    to a cold ol ' love that died,
    oh my lord that woman
    sure looks good in black.
    yes my lord that woman
    sure looks good in black.

  24. t.... b....

    I love his music

  25. D.... H....

    'if she had worn RED, She could have raised the DEAD" ..............Hahahahahahaha LOVE IT. Way to GO.

  26. r.... p....

    Looks like the country is going to hell and so is country music as all the good singers are dying.

  27. d.... r....

    My Lord............what a recitation and song.

  28. D.... J....

    Miss you brother

  29. R.... N....

    when the winds no longer move the leaves or stirs the silence, that truly is the absence of our country legends.

  30. J.... M....

    Gone too soon. RIP

  31. N.... F....

    Love Darlye's Music!

  32. p.... s....

    Wat a voice... Leaving a big milestone in country music missing u sir rip

    Ralph Stanley singing the amazing grace intro. None better.

  34. H.... H....

    He was the best country music singer I have ever met! RIP Pal

  35. W.... B....

    Has a bit of Keith Whitley in his voice. And found out from himself that his all time favorite singer was Kenny Hinson, yes Kenny Hinson was the best singer in Southern Gospel of all times, in fact the best singer period. Of course next to Merle Haggard, Joe Diffie and Daryle Singletary.

  36. a.... s....

    he can sing and that is the truth real country for sure

  37. F.... M....

    Daryle and Ronda they are a pair of singer they jamb to gather perfect so sorry for your loss I love lessening to there music your friend Floyd [email protected]

  40. S.... B....

    I am 78yrs. old & this is the best country song that I ever heard.

    He's singing in heaven.

  42. m.... m....

  43. B.... T....

    RIP DARYL
    WE ALL MISS YOU

  44. M.... W....

    "What a song" breaks my heart..

  45. S.... H....

    OMG..This Is Daryle's New #1 Hit Song, & All Of Them On His New CD Are Wonderful! It's So Sad Daryles Gone, But Country Music Radio Better Play This #1 Hit Song For All Of His Fans, Which Are Many! God Bless His Wife Holly & 4 Children, Please Pray For Them & Buy This CD That Is A Great Song, Plus It Will Help His Family, Plus..We Know A Hit, When We Hear One!

  46. L.... ....

  47. J.... S....

    this song makes me tear up now

  48. T.... M....

    😍💙🎤🎶 R.I.P. Daryle Singletary 🙏🏻😢

  49. b.... t....

    Greatest funeral song of all time

  50. R.... R....

    By FAR the best to ever sing country music!!!!

  51. p.... ....

    Many of the multi millions who love Garth, Kenny, George Strait and all the new acts, are missing out on great music by not listening to guys like Daryle. It doesn't get any better!

  52. M.... B....

    And here I was thinking YouTube was designed for posting VIDEO. I was wrong on this one!

  53. T.... ....

    They should honor this man at the next Country Award show, and induct him into the Country music hall of fame!

  54. A.... V....

    Ive learned to appreciate good music. This is soul. Great music still moves. 2018!

  55. P.... N....

    I dont who the seventy seven fools are that hit the thumbs down on this song. Surely whoever they are, don't know good country when they here it. This man is amazing and this is one of, if not the best song he ever put out. Thwy don't make music like this anymore. He is surely missed and we lost a great man when he passed!

  56. K.... N....

    It sounded he just opened his mouth and it flowed out , country rest in peace my brother

  57. J.... H....

    Myself and crossfire band open for him at West Siloam springs Arkansas and he signed my bass guitar,it was a pleasure to meet him I'll never forget that !

  58. m.... m....

    so sad R.I.P.

  59. J.... M....

    I just found out about one of the best and will be missed for sure,i was lucky enough to see him perform in West Siloam Springs,OK at the casino..

  60. K.... E....

    Paying my respects
    To Daryle Singletary
    Greetings from Dublin Ireland brothers and sisters
    Ar dheis Dè go raibh a Anam dìlis

  61. J.... G....

    He should be put into the country music Hof

  62. a.... l....

    Sure makes one think. Sure makes me love that fabulous voice and the conviction of his delivery. He'll be hard to match if Nashville could give us another performer of this caliber. Don't hold your breath 'cause it's not likely.

  63. c.... b....

    Perfect country song and.perfect country singer.Beautiful!!!!. Who wrote the song?

  64. D.... S....

    just heard that Daryle died . Damn we are losing all the great ones that made country - country . All I listen to any more is cds and utube . Country today sucks

  75. S.... L....

    Rest In Peace Daryle Singletary. I’ve cried a lot of tears since I’ve heard of your passing. I look back at the memories of you coming into Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge on Broadway in Nashville and drinking a beer with you after you sang on stage. I stood at your feet and sang every song right with you. You will be missed brother. Prayers to your family.
