Verse 1

Black is the colour, of my true love's hair,
Her lips are like, some roses fair,
She has the sweetest smile, and the gentlest hands,
And I love the ground, whereon she stands.

Verse 2

I love my love, and well she knows,
I love the ground, whereon she goes,
I wish the day, it soon would come,
When she and I could be as one.

Verse 3

I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,
For satisfied, I never can be,
Then I write her a letter, just a few short lines,
And suffer death, a thousand times.

Verse 4

For black is the colour, of my true love's hair,
Her lips are like, some roses fair,
She has the sweetest smile, and the gentlest hands,
I love the ground, whereon she stands.

Verse 5

Black is the colour, of my true love's hair,
Her lips are like, some roses fair,
She has the sweetest smile, and the gentlest hands,
And I love the ground, whereon she stands.
Yes, I love the ground, whereon she stands.
