Black Is The Colour

(Trad. Arr., Karan Casey & CaoimhĂ­n Vallely)


Black is the colour of my true love's hair
His face is soft and wondrous fair
He has the purest eyes and the gentlest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands
I love the ground whereon he stands


Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair


I love my lover and well he knows
I love the ground whereon 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


Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
