I Know Where I'm Going
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
