I know where I'm going
An upper voice arrangement of an Irish folk-song - included in John Rutter's cycle of folk-songs: The Sprig of Thyme.
LYRICS:
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 have stockings of silk,
Shoes of fine green leather,
Combs to buckle my hair,
And a ring for every finger.
Some say he’s black*,
But I say he’s bonny,
The fairest of them all
My handsome, winsome Johnny
Feather beds are soft,
And painted rooms are bonny,
But I would leave them all
To go with my love Johnny.
I know where I’m going,
And 1 know who’s going with me,
I know who I love
But the dear knows who I’ll marry!
* black: dour, ungracious
(Irish folk-song, arranged by John Rutter)
