Is it a version of this one ?? 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. 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.
