close the Window!

Black is the colour of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The bluest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
Black is the colour of my true love's hair

I love my lover and well he knows
To be with him and where he goes
And if my love I no longer would see

I feel my heart would cease to beat
For black is the colour of my true love's hair
 
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
The love he gives I will declare

And how I long for the time when it comes

When he and I become undone

And black is the colour of my true love's hair
