Lyrics:
Black is the color of my true love's hair,
her lips are like some rosy fair.
The prettiest face, and the neatest hands,
I love the ground whereon she stands.
I know my lover and well she knows,
I love the ground whereon she goes.
If she on earth no more I see,
my life will quickly fade away.
Black is the color of my true love's hair,
her lips are like some rosy fair.
The prettiest face, and the neatest hands,
I love the ground whereon she stands.
