I heard a much more beautiful rendition of this old Scottish ballad the other night at the South Middle School choir concert … what a wonderful tune
Well, I know where I’m goin’
And I know who’s goin’ with me
I know who I love,
But the dear knows who I’ll marry
I 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 would leave them all
For my handsome, winsome Nancy
Some say she’s black,
But I say she’s bonny
Finest of them all
Is my handsome, winsome Nancy
Well, I know where I’m goin’
And I know who’s goin’ with me
I know who I love,
But the dear knows who I’ll marry
Awesome tune. Great harmonica melody!
