lyrics
BLACK IS THE COLOR OF MY TRUE LOVE'S HAIR traditional
Black is the color of my true loves hair
His face is something wondrous fair
The prettiest eyes and the neatest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands
I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
If you on earth no more I see
I can't serve you as you have me
the winter's past and the leaves are green
The time is past that we have seen
But still I hope the time will come
When you and I will be as one
I go to the Clyde to mourn to weep
Unsatisfied I never can sleep
I'll write to you a few little lines
I'll suffer death ten thousand times
Black is the color of my true love hair
His face is something wondrous fair
The prettiest eyes and the neatest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands
Black is the color of my true loves hair
His face is something wondrous fair
The prettiest eyes and the neatest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands
I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
If you on earth no more I see
I can't serve you as you have me
the winter's past and the leaves are green
The time is past that we have seen
But still I hope the time will come
When you and I will be as one
I go to the Clyde to mourn to weep
Unsatisfied I never can sleep
I'll write to you a few little lines
I'll suffer death ten thousand times
Black is the color of my true love hair
His face is something wondrous fair
The prettiest eyes and the neatest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands
