I Know My Love

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... 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? 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" 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 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" 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 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" 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" What will I do... --- I Know My Love - The Chieftains and The Corrs
