Black Is The Color

Am           F    Em                   Am
Black is the color   of my true love's hair

Am          F   Em               Am
His face is like   some wondrous fair

Am                 F   Em                 Am
With the prettiest face   and the neatest hands

Am         F     Em            Am
I love the ground   whereon he stands

I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
If you know mire and of the sea
I answer you as you have me (?)

I go to the Clyde for to mourn and weep
But satisfied I never can sleep
I'll write him a letter, just a few short lines
I'll suffer death one thousand times

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face is like some wondrous fair
With the prettiest face and the neatest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands
