Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
And I love the ground whereon she stands
[Verse 2]
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 and I could be as one
[Verse 3]
I go to the Clyde, I mourn and weep
Satisfied, I never can be
Then I write her a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death a thousand times
[Verse 4]
For black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
And I love the ground whereon she stands
