Black Is the Color - Jean Ritchie

[00:06.427]But black is the color of my true love's hair
[00:11.928]His face is something wondrous fair
[00:16.921]The prettiest eyes and the neatest hands
[00:21.937]I love the ground whereon he stands
[00:29.174]
[00:29.185]
[00:34.673]I love my love and well he knows
[00:40.187]I love the ground whereon he goes
[00:45.178]If you on Earth no more I see
[00:51.443]I cain't serve you as you have me
[00:51.946]
[00:55.931]
[01:01.440]Now winter's past and the leaves are green
[01:06.935]The time has passed that we have seen
[01:12.428]But still I hope the time will come
[01:20.174]When you and I will be as one
[01:23.442]
[01:23.680]
[01:28.936]I go to the Clyde for to mourn, to weep
[01:34.433]But satisfied I never can sleep
[01:39.678]I'll write to you in a few little lines
[01:46.181]I'll suffer death ten thousand times
[01:46.679]
[01:47.191]
[01:52.425]But black is the color of my true love's hair
[01:57.686]His face is somethin' wondrous fair
[02:02.923]The prettiest eyes and the neatest hands
[02:02.923]I love the ground whereon he stands
