Well black is the colour of my true love's hair Her lips are like some rose, so fair, She has the sweetest face she has the gentlest hands, I love the ground whereon he stands.
I love my love and well she knows, I love the ground whereon she goes, And how I wish the day would come When she and I shall be as one
I go to the Clyde for to mourn and weep, But satisfied I never can be Well I write you a letter, just a few short lines, I'll suffer death a thousand times.
Yes black is the colour of my true love's hair. Her lips are like some rose, so fair, She has the sweetest face and the gentlest hands, I love the ground whereon she stands.
