Let him go
let him tarry
let him sink or
let him swim
He doesn't
care for me
nor I don't
care for him
He can go and
get another that
I hope he will enjoy
For I am going
to marry
a far nicer boy
Farewell to
cold winter
summer's
come at last
Nothing have
I gained but my true
love I have lost
I'll sing and I'll
be happy like
the birds
upon the tree
For since
he deceived me
I care no
more for he
He wrote me a
letter saying he
was very bad
I sent him back
an answer saying
I was awful glad
He wrote to me
another saying
he was well
and strong
But I care no more
about him than the
ground he walks upon
Some of his friends
had a good kind
wish for me
Others of his friends
they could hang
me on a tree
But soon I'll let them
see my love and
soon I'll let
them know
That I can get a
new sweetheart
on any grounds I go
Let him go
let him tarry
let him sink or
let him swim
He doesn't
care for me
nor I don't
care for him
He can go and
get another that
I hope he will enjoy
For I am going
to marry
a far nicer boy
For I am going
to marry
a far nicer boy
