The Famous Jug Band - Black Is the Colour lyrics
[The Famous Jug Band - Black Is the Colour lyrics]
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
His lips are something so wond'rous fair
He's the purest eyes, the bravest hands
And I love the ground whereon he stands
Well, I love my love, and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
Know how I wish that day would come
When he and I might be as one
Well, I go to the Clyde
And I more than dream
But satisfied I never can be
For I write him a letter
Just a few short lines
And I suffer death a thousand times
Oh, black is the colour of
My true love's hair
His lips are something so wond'rous fair
He's the purest eyes, the bravest hands
And I love the ground whereon he stands
His lips are something so wond'rous fair
He's the purest eyes, the bravest hands
And I love the ground whereon he stands
Well, I love my love, and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
Know how I wish that day would come
When he and I might be as one
Well, I go to the Clyde
And I more than dream
But satisfied I never can be
For I write him a letter
Just a few short lines
And I suffer death a thousand times
Oh, black is the colour of
My true love's hair
His lips are something so wond'rous fair
He's the purest eyes, the bravest hands
And I love the ground whereon he stands
