Pretty as a midsummer's 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
