I Know Where I'm Going (folk song)

"I Know Where I'm Going" is a traditional Scottish (some sources say Irish) ballad about a wealthy love struck young woman pining for her "bonnie" lover Johnny who some say has a bad reputation. It has been noted since the early nineteenth century.
In some versions the lover is said to be 'black'. This may refer to him being an outlaw or of bad reputation.
_I know where I'm going
And I know who's going with me
I know who I love
And the dear knows who I'll marry.

I have stockings of silk
And shoes of bright green leather
Combs to buckle my hair
And a ring for every finger.

Some say he's black*
But I say he's bonnie
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 my Johnny.

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._
