- Irish traditional folk song [Roud 60; Laws P25; Ballad Index FSWB143, LP25; trad.] collected by Herbert Hughes and first published in his Irish Country Songs by Boosey and Hawkes in 1909. Opens with: "I know my love by his way of walking, I know my love by his way he's talking, I know my love in his suit of blue and if my love leaves me what will I do? Chorus: And still she cried, I love him the best and a troubled mind knows no rest. And still she cried, bonny boys are few, but if my love leaves me, what will I do?"
