Many A New Day

[Laurey]

Why should a woman who is healthy and strong

Blubber like a baby if her man goes away

A-weepin' and a-wailin' 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 brush my hair

And start all over again

Many a new face will please my eye

Many a new love will find me

Never have 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 have I asked an August sky

"Where has last July gone?"

Never have I wandered through the rye

Wonderin' where has some guy gone

Many a new day will dawn

Before I do

[Together]

Many a new face will please my eye

Many a new love will find me

Never have I once looked back to sigh

Over the romance behind me

Many a new day will dawn

Before I do

[Laurey]

Never have I chased the honeybee

Who carelessly cajoled me

Somebody else just as sweet as he

Cheered me and consoled me

Never have I wept into my tea

Over the deal someone doled me

[Together]

Many a new day will dawn

[Laurey]

Many a red sun will set

Many a blue moon will shine

Before I do

[Together]

Many a new face will please my eye

Many a new love will find me

Never have I once looked back to sigh

Over the romance behind me

Many a new day will dawn

[Laurey]

Many a red sun will set

Many a blue moon will shine
