[Bm] [E] [A]
Farewell to cold winter, [D] this summer's [A] come at last.
[Bm] Well, nothing have I gained but [E] my true love I [A] have lost.
I'll sing and I'll be happy like [D] the birds up [A] in the trees.
[Bm] For since he deceived me, [E] I care no more [A] for he.
Let him go, let him tarry, let [D] him sink or let [A] him swim.
[Bm] Well, he doesn't care for [E] me, nor I don't care [A] for him.
He can go and find another, [D] and I hope she [A] brings him joy.
[Bm] For I'm going to marry [E] a far [A] nicer boy.
[Bm] [E] [A] Well, he wrote to me a letter [D] saying he was [A] doing bad.
[Bm] I sent him back an answer [E] saying I was [A] awful glad.
He wrote to me another [D] asking could we [A] court again.
[Bm] And I replied not even if [E] you were the king [A] of Spain.
Let him go, let him tarry, let [D] him sink or let [A] him swim.
[Bm] Well, he doesn't care for [E] me, nor I don't care [A] for him.
He can go and find another, [D] and I hope she [A] brings him joy.
[Bm] For I'm going to marry [E] a far [A] nicer boy.
[Bm] [E] [A]
Some friends of his were very [D] kind and was the best [A] for me.
[Bm] While other friends were hoping [E] that an old mate [A] I would be.
But soon they'll see my new love, [D] who doesn't he so [A] adore.
[Bm] They'll know that he's far better [E] than the one I had [A] before.
Let him go, let him tarry, [D] let him sink or let [A] him swim.
[Bm] Well, he doesn't care for [E] me, nor I don't [A] care for him.
He can go and find another, [D] and I hope she [A] brings him joy.
[Bm] For I'm going to marry [E] a far [A] nicer boy.
[Bm] [E] [A] He can go home to his mother [D] now and set her [A] mind at ease.
[Bm] That old and crooked witch, sure [E] she's very hard [A] to please.
It's like me and talking ill [D] is what she's [A] always done.
[Bm] Because that I was courting [E] her great big [A] ugly son.
Let him go, let him tarry, [D] let him sink or let [A] him swim.
[Bm] Well, he doesn't care [E] for me, nor I don't [A] care for him.
He can go and find another, [D] and I hope she [A] brings him joy.
