Intro: D#m | D#m

D#m          D#m7 D#m
Black, black, black
                   F7
Is the color of my true love’s hair.
Bbm          D#m  D#m7 D#m
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            G#m                Bbm      D#m
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           C#m C#m7
I love the ground
C#m         Cm  Cm7  Cm
Whereon she stands.

Instrumental: D#m7 | D#m7

  D#m7
I love my love and well she knows,

I love the ground whereon she goes,
           G#m    Bbm        D#m7
I wish the day it soon would come

When she and I

Could be as one.

I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,

But satisfied I never could sleep.
                 G#m            Bbm       D#m7
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           C#m              Cm
And suffer death a thousand times.
