Why should a woman

Who is healthy and strong

Blubber like a baby

If her man goes away

A-weepin' an' a-whalin'

How he's done her wrong

That's one thing

You'll never hear me say

Never gonna think that the man I lose

Is the only man among men

I'll snap my fingers to show I don't care

I'll buy me a brand-new dress to wear

I'll scrub my neck and I'll bresh my hair

And start all over again

Many a new face will please my eye

Many a new love will find me

Never've I once looked back to sigh

Over the romance behind me

Many a new day will dawn before I do

Many a light lad may kiss and fly

A kiss gone by is bygone;

Never've I asked an August sky

"Where has last July gone "

Never've I wandered through the rye

Wonderin' where has some guy gone

Many a new day will dawn before I do

Many a new face will please my eye

Many a new love will find me

Never've I once looked back to sigh

Over the romance behind me

Many a new day will dawn before I do

Never've I chased the honeybee

Who carelessly cajoled me;

Somebody else just as sweet as he

Cheered me and consoled me

Never've I wept into my tea

Over the deal someone doled me

Many a new day will dawn

Many a red sun will set

Many a blue moon will shine

Many a new face will please my eye

Many a new love will find me

Never've I once looked back to sigh

Over the romance behind me

Many a new day will dawn

Many a red sun will set

Many a blue moon will shine before I do
