By Anonymous37. I Know Where Im Going
I
I know who’s going with me,
I know who I love,
But the dear knows who I’ll marry.
Shoes of fine green leather,
Combs to buckle my hair
And a ring for every finger.
Painted rooms are bonny;
But I’d leave them all
To go with my love Johnny.
I say he’s bonny,
He’s the flower of them all
My handsome, coaxing Johnny.
I know who’s going with me,
I know who I love,
But the dear knows who I’ll marry.
