Where You Go I Go With You

Three years I have waited
For this very moment
Can you guess what I'm about to say?

Please don't keep me waiting

The farm is mine, Kristina
We have a home now, a farm that will
Feed us and clothe us
We will be married
That's, if you'll still have me

You know I'll have you!
I've told you, Karl Oskar
I think about you only
Go ask my father
He'll give us permission
I know for certain he will
My man, my husband finally!
I wished for this, all other thoughts forsaking
Now my wish is granted
The dream has come true
Now where you go I go with you
With all my body and my soul
I crave you each and every breath I'm taking
And I see that eagerness burning in you
Your soul, your heart, your body too

She is young but they were
Made for one another
They're happy, that's easy to see
She will surely be
A proper wife and mother
A worker she'll have to be!
He will never ask for help from any quarter
There's no-one who's stubborn as he
He's a farmer's son and she's a farmer's daughter
They know what their life will be
But isn't she lovely?
Isn't she lively?
Look at her rushing
To and fro
Still a young girl
Yes, isn't she lovely?
Look at her smiling
Look at her blushing
Head to toe
Still a young girl

You were always such a headstrong boy
And you would never listen

Since I taught you that your fly must be
Unbuttoned when you're

She is young, but they are made for one another
They're happy, that's easy to see
She will surely be a proper wife and mother
A worker she'll have to be!
But isn't she lovely?
Isn't she lively?
Look at her rushing
To and fro
Still a young girl
Yes, isn't she lovely?
Look at her smiling
Look at her blushing
Head to toe
Still a young girl
Everybody knows that times are getting harder
There's hard days ahead for this bride
Won't be easy putting something in the larder
She'll need a good man by her side
Who will plough every acre
And turn every stone to provide

How I used to beg you
Stay just a little longer with me

Having to leave you
Was almost unbearable

Every Sunday morning

Stealing away before dawn
Not to wake up your parents

Then one last kiss

Always time for that kiss

Now I'll hold you forever
Always hold you like this

With all my body and my soul
I crave you each and
Every breath I'm taking
I am yours from this day
And all our days through
For where you go
I'll go with you
