Am           F        G                      Am
[tab]             F         G      E7
Her lips are like some roses fair.

                   F             G         E7
She's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands.

           F         G              Am
I love the ground     where on she stands.

Am         F        G          Am
I love my love   -   well she knows.

           F             G      E7
I love the ground where on she goes.

           F      G           E7
I wish the day it soon would come

             F    G               Am
When she and I       could be as one.

Am          F         G                 Am
I go to the Clyde       and mourn and weep

     F      G         E7
Satisfied I never can be.

               F              G         E7
I write her a letter, just a few short lines

           F      G              Am
And suffer death      a thousand times.

    Am           F        G                      Am
For Black is the colour       of my true love's hair.

             F         G     E7
Her lips are like some roses fair.

                   F             G        E7
She's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands.

           F        G               Am
I love the ground     where on she stands.
