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 hugs, I love the ground where on she stands.
I love my love and well she knows, I love the ground where on she goes, And how I wish the day will 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 hugs, I love the ground where on she stands.
I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep, But satisfied I never 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 faïr, She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hugs, I love the ground where on she stands.
