lyrics

Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are red as the rose so fair
The sweetest smile, and the gentlest hands
I love the ground whereon she stands

I love my love, and well she knows
That I love the ground whereon she goes
And I hope that the day will surely come
When she and I will be as one

I went down to the river for to mourn and weep
For satisfied I could not sleep
And I wrote her a letter, just a few short lines
And suffered death ten thousand times

For black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are red as the rose so fair
The sweetest smile, and the gentlest hands
I love the ground whereon she stands
I love the ground whereon she stands
I love the ground whereon she stands
