But black is the color of my true love's hair
Her face is like some lily fair
The prettiest face and the neatest hands
I love the ground where on she stands
I love the ground where on she stands

I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground where on she goes
If you no more on Earth I see
I can't serve you as you have me

The winter's passed and the leaves are green
The time is passed that we have seen
But still I hope the time will come
When you and I shall be as one

I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground where on she goes
The prettiest face and the neatest hands
I love the ground where on she stands
I love the ground where on she stands
