Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair - Buy it at CD Baby
Traditional. Arrangement and Addit'l lyrics by Robin Frederick
Black is the color of my true love's hair
His lips are like some roses fair
The sweetest face and the gentlest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
Black is the color of my true love's hair
I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground on where he goes
Each day I wish that the time would come
When we will finally be as one
Black is the color of my true love's hair
And green is the color of my true love's eyes
I love the bed whereon he lies
A kinder heart you never will find
And I will gladly give him mine
Green is the color of my true love's eyes
I walk to the river to mourn and weep
For satisfied I'll never sleep
I'll write him a letter, just a few short lines
But feel the loss ten thousand times
Black is the color of my true love's hair
