black is the colour (of my true love's hair)

Singer:jenkins, katherine

black is the color of my true love's hair

his lips are like a rose so fair

he has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands

and i love the ground where on he stands

i love my love and well

he knows

i love the ground where on he goes

and how i wish the day would come

when he and i will be as one

black is the color of my true love's hair

his lips are like a rose so fair

he has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands

and i love the ground where on he stands

i go to the clyde and mourn and weep

satisfied i never will sleep

i will write him a letter just a few short lines

and suffer death ten thousand times

black is the color of my true love's hair
