Black is the color of my true love's hair her lips are like some roses fair she's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands and I love the ground where on she stands
I love my love and well she knows I love the ground where on she goes I wish the day It soon would come When she and I Could be as one
I go to the Clyde I mourne and weep For satisfied I ne'er can be I write her a letter just a few short lines and suffer death a thousand times Black is the color 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 where on she stands
