Lyrics
Black is the color of my true love?s hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She?s got the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
I love the ground whereon she stands
Oh I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground whereon she goes
If she no more on earth I see
I?ll be as lonely as one can be
Black is the color of my true love?s hair
Alone my life would seem so bare
I mourn I weep ne?er fall asleep
My love is far beyond compare
Go to the river no more can sleep
I pray the Lord her soul to keep
Write her a letter just a few short lines
And suffer loss a thousand times
