Henry's Songbook

And still she cried, I love him the best
And a troubled mind sure will know no rest
And still she cried, Bonnie boys are few
And if my love leaves me what will I do

And I know my love by his way of walking
And I know my love by his way of talking
And I know my love in the jacket blue
And if my love leaves me what will I do

There is a dance hall in the Maradyke
And it's there my love he goes every night
And he sits a queer one down on his knee
And don't you know how that troubles me

And if my love knew I could weave and spin
And if my love knew I could wash and wring
I would make a coat of the finest kind
But the want of money leaves me behind

And I know my love is a handsome rover
And I know he'll roam the whole world over
And in dear old Ireland no longer tarry
And an English girl sure he's sure to marry

(as sung by Jimmy Crowley)
