| Lyrics: | LET HIM GO, LET HIM TARRY
(This version, or something much like it, was popular in
England
in the 1940's --- Gracie Fields recorded it. No idea how old it
is, but it sounds
1870-1930 music hall. RG)
cho: Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him
swim;
He don't care for me, and I'm sure I don't for him
He can go and find
another, and I hope she'll bring him joy
For I'm goin' to marry a far nicer
boy.
Farewell to cold winter, now that 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 a bird upon the tree
For
since he deceived me, I care no more for he.
cho:
He wrote me a letter saying
he was very bad,
I sent him back an answer saying I was very glad.
He wrote me another
saying he was well and strong,
But I care no more for him than the ground he walks
upon.
cho:
Some of his friends had a good kind wish for me,
Others of his
friends, they could hang me from 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 ground I go.
cho:
He can
go to his old mother,now, and set her mind at ease,
For she's a mean old woman, and very hard
to please,
It's slighting me and talking ill is all she's ever done
Since I was courtin'
her great big ugly son.
