Black is the colour of my true love's hair, Her lips are like some roses fair, She's 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 wish the day, it soon would come, When she & I could be as one.
Black is the colour of my true love's hair, Her lips are like some roses fair, She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands, I love the ground, Whereon she stands.
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep, And satisfied, I never can be, And the I write her a letter, just a few short lines, And suffer death, a thousand times.
