Black is the color of my true love's hair His face so soft and wondrous fair The purest eyes And the strongest hands I love the ground on where he stands I love the ground on where he stands
Black is the color of my true love's hair Of my true love's hair Of my true love's hair
Oh I love my lover And well he knows Yes, I love the ground on where he goes And still I hope That the time will come When he and I will be as one When he and I will be as one So black is the colour of my true love's hair
Black is the colour of my true love's hair Black is the colour of my love so fair Black is her body, so firm, so bold Black is her beauty, her soul of gold I carry my love in my heart everywhere And no matter where I go, she is always there I remember how she came to me in a vision of my mind I remember how she said to me: "Don't ever look behind" She said: "Look ahead and I would see someone always loving me" Her picture is painted in my memory without a colour of dispaire And no matter where I go she is always there
