Lyrics

Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Black is the color of my true love's hair

[Verse 2]

I love my lover and well he knows

Yes I love the ground on 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh I love my lover and well he knows

Yes I love the ground on where he goes

Oh 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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Black is the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love

Black is the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love

Black is the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love

Black is the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love

Black is the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love

It's the color of my true love

It's the color of my true love

It's the color of my true love

It's the color of my true love

It's the color of my true love

It's the color of my true love

It's the color of my true love

It's the color of my true love

It's the color of my true love

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's hair

It's the color of my true love's

It's the color of my true love
