I Know My Love Lyrics

I know my love by his way of walking
And I know my love by his way of talking
And I know my love dressed in a suit of blue
And if my love leaves me, what will I do?
Chorus:
And still she cried, I love him the best,
And a troubled mind, sure can know no rest
And still she cried, bonny boys are few,
And if my love leaves me, what will I do?

There is a dance house in maradyke
And there my true love goes every night
He takes a strange girl upon his knee
Well now don"t you think that that vexes me?
Chorus

If my love knew I can wash and wring
If my love knew I can sew and spin
I"d make a coat of the finest kind
But the want of money sure leaves me behind
Chorus

I know my love is an arrant rover
I know he"ll wander the wild world over
In dear old ireland he"ll no longer tarry
An american girl he"s sure to marry

Chorus
Chorus

What will I do?
