Lyrics

Black is the color of my true love's hair

His face so soft and wondrous fair

The purest eyes

and the strongest hands

I love the ground on where he stands

I love the ground on where he stands

Black is the color of my true love's hair

Of my true love's hair

Of my true love's hair

Oh I love my lover

and where he goes

yes, I love the ground on where he goes

And still I hope

that the time will come

when he and I will be as one

when he and I will be as one

So black is the color of my true love's hair

Black is the color of my true love's hair

Black is the color of my true love's hair
