Now black is the colour of my true love's hair, Her lips are like some roses fair, The sweetest smile 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, I hope the day, will one day come, When she I will be as one.
Black is the colour of my true love's hair, Her lips are like some roses fair, The sweetest smile and the gentlest hands, I love the ground whereon she stands.
I go to the Clyde for to mourn and weep, For satisfied I never can be, I write her a letter just a few short lines, And suffer death a thousand times.
Now black is the colour of my true love's hair, Her lips are like some roses fair, The sweetest smile and the gentlest hands, I love the ground, whereon she stands.
