I Know Where I'm Going

Words & Music:

Traditional Irish

 

D      A         D                      G          A

I know where I'm goin' and I know who's goin' with me.

D            Bm           Em   A     G        A     D

I know who I love and my dear knows who I'll marry.

 

I have stockings of silk, shoes of bright green leather,

Combs to buckle my hair and a ring for every finger.

 

Some say he's black [alt: "poor"], but I say he's bonnie.

The fairest of them all: my handsome, winsome Johnny.

 

Feather beds are soft, and painted rooms are bonnie.

But I would give them all for my handsome, winsome Johnny.

 

Yes, I know where I'm goin' and I know who's goin' with me.

I know who I love and my dear knows who I'll marry.
