Lyrics
Farewell to cold summer,
Summer’s come at last,
But nothing have I gained,
But my true love I have lost;
I’ll sing and I’ll be happy
Like the birds upon the trees,
But since he has left me,
I care no more for him.

CHORUS
Let him go, let him tarry,
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 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

Now some of his friends,
They had a very kind wish for me,
Other of those friends,
They could hang me on a tree;
But soon I let them see my love
And soon I let them know
That I can get a new sweetheart
On any ground I go.

CHORUS

He can go to his old mother now
And set her mind at ease,
I hear she is an Ireland woman
Very hard to please.
At slighting me and talking ill
Is what she’s always done,
Because that I was courtin’
Her great bit ugly son.

CHORUS
