11But black is the colour of my true love’s hair,Black black black is the colour of my true love's hair
22His face is like some rosy fair;his lips are something rosy fair
33The prettiest face and the neatest hands,the sweetest smile and the kindest hands
44I love the ground whereon he stands.I love the grass whereon he stands
55
66I love my love and well he knows,I love my love and well he knows
77I love the ground whereon he goes.I love the grass whereon he goes
88If you on earth no more I see,if he no more on earth will be
99I can’t serve you as you have me.'twill surely be the end of me
10
11The winter’s passed and the leaves are green,
12The time is passed that we have seen,
13But still I hope the time will come
14When you and I shall be as one.
15
16I’ll go to the Clyde to mourn and weep,
17But satisfied I never could sleep.
18I’ll write to you in a few short lines,
19I’ll suffer death ten thousand times.
20
21So fare you well, my own true love,
22The time has passed, but I wish you well;
23But still I hope the time will come
24When you and I will be as one.
25
26I love my love and well he knows,
27I love the ground whereon he goes.
28The prettiest face and the neatest hands,
29I love the ground whereon he stands.
