Repeat this for the rest of the verses. Then you have the outro, which is the same as the intro.
Lyrics:
Black is the colour,
Of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like,
Some roses fair.
She has the sweetest smile,
And the gentlest hands.
And I love the ground,
On which she stands.
I love my love,
And well she knows.
I love the ground,
Whereon she goes.
I wish the day,
it soon would come.
When she and I,
Could be as one.
I go to the Clyde,
Where I mourn and weep.
For satisfied,
I can never be.
I write her a letter,
Just a few short lines.
And suffer death,
A thousand times.
Black is the colour,
Of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like,
Some roses fair.
She has the sweetest smile,
And the gentlest hands.
And I love the ground,
On which she stands.
.
Have fun, Tom.
