[Intro]
A A A A D
[Verse 1]
D D G D
Now, Bridget was a colleen with an independent air
A A A D
and Bridget had a sweetheart who was gay and debonair.
D D G D
He would woo her, court her, jilt her nearly ev'ry other day
A A E A
'till finally Miss Bridget was heard at last to say:
[Chorus]
D D G D
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim,
A A A D
he doesn't care for me nor I don't care for him.
D D G D
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
A A A D A D
for I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy.
[Verse 2]
D D G D
Then he wrote to her a letter sayin' he was rather bad,
A A A D
she sent him back an answer sayin' she was very glad.
D D G D
Then he wrote to her another sayin' he was well and strong
A A E A
but she cared no more about him than the ground he walked upon.
[Verse 3]
D D G D
He can go to his old mother and set her mind at ease
A A A D
for she's an old, old woman and very hard to please.
D D G D
She can say that I am flighty as she has always done
A A E A
'cause I don't want to marry her great big ugly son.
[Interlude]
A A A A
[Chorus]
D D G D
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim,
A A A D
he doesn't care for me nor I don't care for him.
D D G D
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
A A A D
for I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy.
[Bridge]
G D E A
Let him go, let him go, let him go, let him tarry, let him stay.
D D G D
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
A A A D
for I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy.
[Verse 4]
D D G D
The years rolled on and left poor Bridget high upon the shelf
A A A D
and often in the evenin' when she's sittin' by herself
D D G D
she remembers that young fellow, so debonair and gay
A A E A
and wishes, oh, so often, he'd never heard her say:
[Chorus]
D D G D
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim,
A A A D
he doesn't care for me nor I don't care for him.
D D G D
A A A D
[Outro 1]
G D E A
Let him go, let him go, let him go, let him tarry, let him stay.
D D G D
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
A A A A
for I'm goin' to marry a far nicer [Outro 2] boy.
