1.I Know My Love

Lyrics:The Chieftains
Music:The Chieftains

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?
