i know my love by his way of walking and i know my love by his way he s talking and i know my love in his 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 knows no rest and still she cried bonny boys are few but if my love leaves me what will i do if my love knew i could wash and wring if my love knew i could weave and spin i d make a jacket of the finest kind but for want of money he s left me behind there is a dance hall in maradyke there my love goes almost every night he takes a strange girl upon his knee now don t you think that it vexes me i know my love is an errant rover i know my love sails the whole world over in foreign lands he is sure to tarry and some foreign girl he is sure to marry
