Let Him Go Let Him TarryNothing have I gained but my true love I have lost. I'll sing and I'll be happy like the birds up in the trees. Since he deceived me I care no more for he. Chorus Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy He wrote to 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. Chorus He can go to his old mother now and set her mind at ease I hear she's an old woman and very hard to please It's slighting me and talking ill is what she's always done Because I was courting her great big ugly son.
