Black is the colour of my true love's hair His lips are like a rose so fair He's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon he stands
I love my love and well he knows I love the ground whereon he goes And I wish the day, the day would come When he and I will be as one
I walk to the Clyde to mourn and weep For satisfied I ne'er will sleep I'll write him a letter, a few short lines And suffer death ten thousand times Black is the colour of my true loves hair His lips are like a rose so fair He's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon he stands I love the ground whereon he stands
