I Know My Love
I know my love by his way of walkingAnd I know my love by his way of talkingAnd I know my love dressed in a suit of blueAnd if my love leaves me what will I do...And still she cried: "I love him the bestAnd a troubled mind sure can know no rest"And still she cried: "Bonny boys are fewAnd if my love leaves me what will I do"
There is a dance house in MaradykeAnd there my true love goes every nightHe takes a strange girl upon his kneeWell now don't you think that that vexes me?
And still she cried: "I love him the bestAnd a troubled mind sure can know no rest"And still she cried: "Bonny boys are fewAnd if my love leaves me what will I do"
If my love knew I can wash and wringIf my love knew I can sew and spinI'd make a coat of the finest kindBut the want of money sure leaves me behindAnd still she cried: "I love him the bestAnd a troubled mind sure can know no rest"And still she cried: "Bonny boys are fewAnd if my love leaves me what will I do"
I know my love is an arrant roverI know he'll wander the wild world overIn dear old Ireland he'll no longer tarryAn American girl he's sure to marry
And still she cried: "I love him the bestAnd a troubled mind sure can know no rest"And still she cried: "Bonny boys are fewAnd if my love leaves me what will I do"
And still she cried: "I love him the bestAnd a troubled mind sure can know no rest"And still she cried: "Bonny boys are fewAnd if my love leaves me what will I do"
What will I do...
