Lyrics I Know My Love - The Chieftains, The Corrs

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…
