Is the color of my true love’s hair.
Gm           Cm   Cm7  Cm6 Cm+ Cm
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            Fmsus2             Gmadd13- Cm
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           Bbm Bbm7
I love the ground
Bbm6        Am  Am7  Am6  Amadd11  Amadd9   
Whereon she stands.

I love my love and well she knows,
                                 
I love the ground whereon she goes,
           Fmadd9 Gmadd9     Cm7
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.
                 Fmadd9         Gmadd9    Cm7
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           Bbm              Am
And suffer death a thousand times.

I love the ground whereon she stands.
