[D]I know my [A7] love by his [D]way of walking
[A7]And I know my love by his [D]way of talking
And I [A]know my love by his [D]suit of blue
But if [A]my love leaves me what [D]will I do.
Chorus
And [A7]still she cried I love [D]him the best
But a [A7]troubled mind sure can [D]know no rest
And [A7]yet she cried bonny [D]boys are few
And if [A7]my love leaves me what [D]will I do.

Chorus
There is a dance house in the Mardyke
And it’s there my dear love goes every night
He takes a strange girl all upon his knee
And don’t you think that it vexes me.
Chorus
If my love knew I could wash and wring
And if my love knew I could I could weave and spin
I could make a suit all of the finest kind
But the want of money leaves me behind.
Chorus
I know my love is an errant rover
I know he’ll wander the wide world over
In dear old Ireland he’ll no longer tarry
An American girl he’s sure to marry.
