I know my love Matches base text
Language: English
“I know my love by his way of walkin’, And I know my love by his way of talkin’, And I know my love by his coat of blue, But if my love leaves me what will I do?” Refrain 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 yonder town, And there my true love goes every night; He takes a strange one upon his knee, And don’t you think, now, that vexes me?” Refrain “If my love knew I could wash and wring, If my love knew I could weave and spin, I’d make a coat all of the finest kind, But the want of money, sure, leaves me behind?” Refrain
