Lyrics: 

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, 
On which she stands. 

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. 

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

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, 
On which she stands. 

. 

Have fun, Tom.
