Black Is The Color by Sligo Rags Lyrics

[Chorus]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's got the sweetest smile
And the gentlest hands
I love the ground where on she stands

[Verse1]
Oh I love my lover
And well she knows
Yes I love the ground where on she goes
I hope the day soon will come
Still I pray that the time will come
When she and I will live as one

[Chorus]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's got the sweetest smile
And the gentlest hands
I love the ground where on she stands
[Verse1]
I go to the (?)
And I mourn and weep
For satisfied, she'll never be
I want to write her a letter
A few short lines
And suffer death
A thousand times

[Chorus] [x2]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's got the sweetest smile
And the gentlest hands
I love the ground where on she stands

I love the ground where on she stands
I love the ground where on she stands
