C#m          C#m7 C#m
Black, black, black
                   D#7
Is the color of my true love’s hair.
G#m          C#m  C#m7 C#m
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            F#m                G#m      C#m
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           Bm Bm7
I love the ground
Bm          Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
Whereon she stands.

Instrumental: C#m7 | C#m7

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

I love the ground whereon she goes,
           F#m    G#m        C#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.
                 F#m            G#m       C#m7
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           Bm               Bbm
And suffer death a thousand times.
