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 by his jacket 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 hall in the Mardyke
And there my true love goes every night
And takes a strange girl upon his knee
And he never, ever thinks of 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 could wash and wring
If my love knew I could sew and spin
I'd make a coat of the finest kind
But the want of money 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?
