Let Him Go Let Him Tarry - Ruby Murray

作曲：Carl Yale/Cliff Gordon/Max Maurice/Traditional

Now Bridget was a colleen with an independent air

And Bridget had a sweetheart

Who was gay and debonair

He would woo her court her jilt her

Nearly ev'ry other day

Till finally Miss Bridget

Was heard at last to say

Let him go let him tarry

Let him sink or let him swim

He doesn't care for me nor

I don't care for him

He can go and get another that

I hope he will enjoy

For I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy

Then he wrote to her a letter sayin' he was rather bad

She sent him back an answer

Sayin' she was very glad

Then he wrote to her another

Sayin' he was well and strong

But she cared no more about him

Than the ground he walked upon

He can go to his old mother

And set her mind at ease

For she's an old old woman

And very hard to please

She can say that I am flighty

As she has always done

'Cause I don't want to

Marry her great big ugly son

Let him go let him tarry

Let him sink or let him swim

He doesn't care for me nor

I don't care for him

He can go and get another that

I hope he will enjoy

For I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy

Let him go let him go

Let him go let him tarry let him stay

He can go and get another that

I hope he will enjoy

For I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy

The years rolled on and left poor

Bridget high upon the shelf

And often in the evenin'

When she's sittin' by herself

She remembers that young fellow

So debonair and gay

And wishes oh so often

He'd never heard her say

Let him go let him tarry

Let him sink or let him swim

He doesn't care for me nor

I don't care for him

Let him go let him go

Let him go let him tarry let him stay

He can go and get another that

I hope he will enjoy

For I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy
