Black Is the Colour Lyrics

Black is the color 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/black-is-the-colour-lyrics-cara-dillon.html ] When she and I can be as one
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
