Black Is The Colour

# Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are like a rose so fair
She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands
I love the ground whereon she stands #

I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground whereon she goes
And how I wish the day would come
When she and I can be as one

Repeat #
Ohh, whereon she stands × 5

I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep
Satisfied I never will sleep
I'll write her a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death ten thousand times

Repeat #
I love the ground whereon she stands
I love the ground...
Love...
