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 that her mind was a'changin From the way that she done up her hair 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'm going to the races To see my pony run And if I win any green back We're surely gonna have some fun Let her go, let her go, God bless her She's mine everywhere she may be She may ramble this wide world all over 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 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
