Sligo Rags — Black is the Color lyrics

Lyrics

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
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
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 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
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
