Let her go, let her go, God bless her
She's mine everywhere she may be
She may ramble this wide world all over
But she'll never find a friend like me

I went to church last Sunday
I saw my old love there
And I knew her mind was a'changin'
From the way that she done up her hair

chorus

I'm going to the races
To see my pony run
And if I win any green back
We're surely gonna have some fun

chorus

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live up town
But sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown

chorus
