lyrics
I know my love by his way o' walkin'
And I know my love by his way o' talkin'
And I know my love dressed in a suit o' blue
And if my love leaves me what will I do?
CHORUS
And still she cried, I love him the best
And a troubled mind, sure, can know no rest.
And still she cried, Bonny boys are few
And if my love leaves me what will I do?
There is a dance house in Maradyke
And there my true love goes ev'ry night
He takes a strange girl upon his knee
And don't you think now that vexes me?
If my love knew I could wash and wring
If my love knew I could weave and spin
I'd make a coat all of the finest kind
But the want of money, it leaves me behind.
I know my love is an errant rover
And I know he’ll travel the whole world over
And in dear old Ireland he’ll no longer tarry
And an English damsel he’s sure to marry.
And I know my love by his way o' talkin'
And I know my love dressed in a suit o' blue
And if my love leaves me what will I do?
CHORUS
And still she cried, I love him the best
And a troubled mind, sure, can know no rest.
And still she cried, Bonny boys are few
And if my love leaves me what will I do?
There is a dance house in Maradyke
And there my true love goes ev'ry night
He takes a strange girl upon his knee
And don't you think now that vexes me?
If my love knew I could wash and wring
If my love knew I could weave and spin
I'd make a coat all of the finest kind
But the want of money, it leaves me behind.
I know my love is an errant rover
And I know he’ll travel the whole world over
And in dear old Ireland he’ll no longer tarry
And an English damsel he’s sure to marry.

Mistaken & Misplaced
by Pete CarrThis was my favourite album of 2012. And probably 2013 and 2014 too! The Beatlesque songs, singing and playing are human, memorable and I never tire of them.

Whirligig!
by The Cherry BluestormsThe Cherry Bluestorms's latest release is beautiful, and... it has a song about Roy Wood, a Cardwell family fave! Don't miss its lovely coda, and also the melodic majesty of Seven League Boots.
