(intro) C5 D5 E5

  C5      D5                   E5
Black is the colour of my true loves hair
  C5         D5              E5
His lipes are like some roses fair
  C5       D5                 E5
He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
  A5        B5           E5
And I love the ground whereon he stands
  C5       D5               E5
I love my love and well he knows
  C5        D5         E5
I love the ground whereon he goes
  C5         D5          E5
I wish that day would soon come
  A5        B5          E5
When he and I can be as one

  C5         D5              E5
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep
  C5         D5        E5
For satisfied I never sleep
  C5              D5        E5
I write him letters just a few short lines
  C5      D5                E5
And suffer death ten thousand times

  C5           D5          E5
Black is the colour of my true loves hair
  C5            D5          E5
His lips are like some roses fair
  C5             D5          E5
He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
  A5          B5           E5
And I love the ground whereon he stands
  A5           B5             E5
I love the ground whereon he stands
  A5          B5              E5
I love I love I love the ground whereon he stands
