lyrics

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
I mourn and weep
For satisfied, I ne'er can/shall be
I write her a letter just a few short lines
I 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
I love the ground
Whereon she stands
