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. @courtship filename[ LETHIMGO TUNE FILE: LETHIMGO CLICK TO PLAY RG |
