Black is the colour 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
ย
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
ย
Oh, I love my lover, and well he knows
I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope that the time will come
Oh, 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 colour of my true
My true love's hair
ย
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Black is the colour of my love so fair
Black is her body, so firm, so bold
Black is her beauty, her soul, her gold
I carry my love in my heart
Every, everywhere
And no matter where I go
She is always there
I remember how she came to me
In a vision on my mind
I remember how she said to me
"Don't ever look behind"
She said "Look ahead"
And I would see someone always loving me
Her picture is painted in my memory
Without a colour of despair
And no matter where I go
She is always there
