Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She has the sweetest face
And the gentlest hands
And I love the ground where on she stands

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

Black is the colour of my true love's hair

Her lips are like some roses fair

She has the sweetest face
And the gentlest hands
And I love the ground where on she stands
I love the ground where on she stands

Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are like a rose so fair
She has the sweetest face
And the gentlest hands
And I love the ground where on she stands
I love the ground where on she stands
I love the ground where on she stands
