Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker
black is the colour
Select language to translate this lyric
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
His face is like some wonders fair
With the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands
I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
And if my fate and fortune be
I would have you as you have me
I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep
Satisfied I ne'er can sleep
Write him a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death a thousand times
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
His face is like some wonders fair
With the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands
I love the ground whereon he stands
I love . .
I love the ground whereon he stands
