Song Lyrics And Chords In D Major Key
I[D] know my[A] love by his[D] way of walking
And IA] 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] would I do
[Chorus]
And[A] yet she cries I love[D] him the best
But a troubled[A] mind sure can[D] know no rest
And[A] yet she cried bonny[D] boys are few yet if my love[A] leaves me what would I[D] do
[2]
There is a dance house in Mardyke
And it's there my dear love goes each night
And he takes a strange girl all on his knee
And don't you think that it trouble's me
[3]
If my love 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 it leaves me behind.
