Black is the color of my true love's hair
  His face so soft and wondrous fair
  The purest eyes
  and the strongest hands
  I love the ground on where he stands
  I love the ground on where he stands
  
  Black is the color of my true love's hair
  Of my true love's hair
  Of my true love's hair
  
  Oh I love my lover
  and where he goes
  yes, I love the ground on where he goes
  And still I hope
  that the time will come
  when he and I will be as one
  when he and I will be as one
  
  So black is the color of my true love's hair
  Black is the color of my true love's hair
  Black is the color of my true love's hair
