Burl Ives - I know my love lyrics

Burl Ives - I know my love

know my love by her way of walking

And I know my love by her way of talking

And I know my love by her suit of blue

But if my love leaves me, what will I do?

CHORUS

And yet she cries "I Love him the best"

But a troubled mind sure can know no rest.

And yet she cries 'Bonny boys are few'

Yet if my love leaves me, what will I Do?

There is a dance house in Mardyke

And 'tis there my dear love goes every night

And he takes a strange girl all on his knee

And don't you think but it troubles me

Chorus

If my love knew I could wash and wring

And if my love knew I could weave and spin

I could make a suit all of the finest kind

But the want of money, it leaves me behind

Chorus
