about

This is a tune that has been passed around through the years, versions of it showing from Scotland to Appalachia. This one takes the long way around.

lyrics

Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are like a rose so fair
And the prettiest face and the neatest little hands
I love the grass where on she stands
Black is the colour of my true love's hair

Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her face is something truly rare
Oh I do love my love so well she knows
I love the ground where on she goes
Black is the colour of my true love's hair

Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Alone my life would be so bare
I would sigh, I would weep, I would never fall asleep
My love is way beyond compare
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
