Pretty as a midsummers morn, they call her Dawn
Dawn, go away I'm no good for you
Oh, Dawn, stay with him he'll be good to you
Hang on, Hang on to him

Think, what a big man he'll be
Think, all the places you'll see
Now think what the future would be
With a poor boy like me

Dawn go away, please go away
Although I know I want you to stay
Dawn go away, please go away
Baby don't cry, it's better this way

Oh Dawn go away, back where you belong
Girl we can't change the places
Where we were born
Before you say that you want me

I want you to think what your family would say
Think what you're throwing away
Now think what the future would be
With a poor boy like me

Dawn, go away I'm no good for you

Dawn, go away I'm no good for you

Dawn, go away I'm no good for you

Dawn, go away I'm no good for you

Dawn, go away I'm no good for you
