[Verse 1: Peter Hollens]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the gentlest hands
I love the ground where on she stands
I love the ground where on she stands

[Chorus: Peter Hollens]
Black is the color of my true love's hair

[Verse 2: Avi Kaplan]
I love my love
And well she knows
I love the ground on where she goes
And still I hope that the time will come
Still I hope that the time will come
When she and I will be as one
When she and I will be as one

[Chorus: Avi Kaplan]
Black is the color of my true love's hair

[Verse 3: Peter Hollens and Avi Kaplan]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
(?)
Her face so soft and wondrous fair
My true love has the pure-
The purest eyes
And the gentlest hands
I love
I love the ground whereon she stands
I love the ground whereon she stands
