Black is the colour--Cara Dillon Black is the colour of my true love\'s hair. Her lips are like a rose so fair. She\'s got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands. I love the ground whereon she stands. I love my love and well she knows. I love the ground whereon she goes. And how I wish the day would come when she and I can be as one. Black is the colour of my true love\'s hair. Her lips are like a rose so fair. She\'s got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands. I love the ground whereon she stands. I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep satisfied I never will sleep. I \'ll write her a letter, just a few short lines And suffer death ten thousand times. Black is the colour of my true love\'s hair. Her lips are like a rose so fair. She\'s got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands. I love the ground whereon she stands. x3
