Burl Ives - The Wayfaring Stranger

I Know Where I'm Going

---------------------------------

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

Some say he's dark and some say he's bonny
But the fairest of them all is my handsome, winsome Johnny

I have stockings of silk and shoes of fine green leather
Combs to buckle my hair and a ring for every finger

Instrumental Verse

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

Feather beds are soft and painted rooms are bonny
But I would leave them all for my handsome, winsome Johnny
