Is the color of my true love’s hair.

Her lips are like some roses fair,
            Bm                 C#m      F#m
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           Em Em7
I love the ground
Em          D#m D#m7 D#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.
                 Bm             C#m       F#m7
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           Em               D#m
And suffer death a thousand times.
