Lyrics:

I know my love by her way of walking
And I know my love by her way of talking
And I know my love in a dress of blue
but my love leaves me, what will I do?

chorus:
And still I cried, Cause I love her the best,
And a troubled mind, sure can know no rest'
And still I cried, 'Bonny girls 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
She takes a strange man upon his knee
Well now don't you think that that vexes me?

chorus

If my love knew I can sew and spin
If my love knew I can wash and wring
I'd make a dress of the finest kind
But for want of money she lets me from behind

chorus

I know my love is an errant rover
I know my love hads world over
and I'm falling love...

chorus
