I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: "I KNOW WHO I LOVE, / BUT THE DEAR KNOWS WHO I'LL MARRY"
Subject(s): INNOCENCE;LOVE;

I know where I'm going,
And I know who's going with me.
I know who I love,
But the dear knows who I'll marry.
I'll have stockings of silk,
Shoes of fine green leather,
Combs to buckle my hair
And a ring for every finger.
Feather beds are soft,
Painted rooms are bonny:
But I'd leave them all
To go with my love Johnny.
Some say he's dark,
But I say he's bonny,
He's the flower of them all,
My handsome, winsome Johnny.
I know where I'm going,
And I know who's going with me.
I know who I love,
But the dear knows who I'll marry.
