[Verse 1]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands
[Chorus: Nina Simone]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
[Verse 2: Nina Simone]
Oh, I love my lover
And well he knows
Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope that the time will come
Still I pray that the time will come
When he and I will be as one
[Chorus: Nina Simone]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands
[Chorus: Nina Simone]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
[Verse 2: Nina Simone]
Oh, I love my lover
And well he knows
Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope that the time will come
Still I pray that the time will come
When he and I will be as one
[Chorus: Nina Simone]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
