Is the color of my true love’s hair.

Her lips are like some roses fair,
            Am                 Bm       Em
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,

I love the ground
Dm          C#m C#m7 C#m
Whereon she stands.

I love my love and well she knows,

I love the ground whereon she goes,

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.
                 Am             Bm        Em7
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           Dm               C#m
And suffer death a thousand times.
