Let Him Go Let Him Tarry
| C | C7 | F | C |
| Let him go, let him | tarry, | let him sink or let him | swim; |
| G7 | C |
| He | don't care for me, and I'm sure I don't for | him |
| C | C7 | F | C |
| He can go and find an | other, and I | hope she'll bring him | joy |
| G7 | C |
| 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.
chorus
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.
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.
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
