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 true love there
And I knew that her mind was changing
From the way that she done up her hair
* Refrain
I'm going to the races
To see my pony run
And if I win any green backs
We're sure gonna have some fun
* Refrain
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
But sometimes I take a good notion
To jump in the river and drown
* Refrain
