lyrics

Black is the colour of my true love's hair
His lips are like a rose so fair
He's got the sweetest smile
And the gentlest hands
And I love the ground
Whereon he stands

I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
I wait for the day,
For it soon to come
That he and I
Can be as one

I'll go to the Clyde and mourn and weep
For satisfied I never can be
I'll write him a letter
Just a few short lines
And suffer death
A thousand times

For black is the colour of my true love's hair
His lips are like some roses fair
He's got the sweetest smile
And the gentlest hands
And I love the ground
Whereon he stands
