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 How I wish the day would soon come When she and I can 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'll go to the Clyde and moan and weep For satisfied I never could be I'll write her a letter, just a few short lines And I'll suffer death a thousand times
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
