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
