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
