I KNOW WHO.
A BALLAD.
I have a hand for a glove,
And I have a foot for a shoe,
And I have a head full of love,
And a heart for—I know who.
I have a neck for a necklace,
A cap for a top-knot, too,
And a finger I have for a ring,
When given by—I know who.
And I have a foot for a shoe,
And I have a head full of love,
And a heart for—I know who.

A cap for a top-knot, too,
And a finger I have for a ring,
When given by—I know who.
I have a faith still unshaken,
For one that's sincere and true,
With lips that by siege may be taken,
When storm'd by—I know who.
Oh! sweetly I can smile,
When a certain youth I view,
And as sullenly I can pout,
When I don't meet—I know who.
For one that's sincere and true,
With lips that by siege may be taken,
When storm'd by—I know who.
Oh! sweetly I can smile,
When a certain youth I view,
And as sullenly I can pout,
When I don't meet—I know who.
Oh! I am a comely young maid,
And my name is—but what's that to you?
And my lover's a handsome young man,
And he is—is—I know who.
I'm daughter to Thomas, the thresher,
And niece to old spinstress, Sue,
And gladly will I be a wife,
When the husband is—I know who.
And my name is—but what's that to you?
And my lover's a handsome young man,
And he is—is—I know who.
I'm daughter to Thomas, the thresher,
And niece to old spinstress, Sue,
And gladly will I be a wife,
When the husband is—I know who.
