Traditional

lyrics

If he’s gone, let him go, let him sink or let him swim
If he don’t care for me, well, I surely don’t for him
But why should I care, I’m so happy, young, and free
And I can find another one when he is gone from me.

He loved me just a little bit like the dew upon the corn
Put it on in the evening time, took it off at morn
But why should I care, I’m so happy, young, and free
And I can find another one when he is gone from me.

He was small and he was pretty and his ways were oh, so neat
Isn’t it a pity he’s so full of his deceit
But why should I care, I’m so happy, young, and free
And I can find another one when he is gone from me.
