[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus: Nina Simone]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair

[Verse 2: Nina Simone]
Oh, I love my lover
And well he knows
Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope that the time will come
Still I pray that the time will come
When he and I will be as one

[Chorus: Nina Simone]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
