Yonder comes my true love, how do you reckon I know,

I tell her by her apron strings, tied up in a double bow.

YANDER COMES MY TRUE LOVE- Thede:  Described by Thede as a "Yankee love song."

Yander comes my true love

O how do you know her

I know her by her walk and I know her by her talk

And her shoe strings flappin' on the floor.
