Let Me Be lyrics

They say a girl like me should wed,And take a man to lay in my bedBut I would like to stay young and free, And oh, I wish they would let me beOh, I wish they would let me be...Let me be.Robin the miller he's fond of brass,He sees a fool's face when he looks in glass,Thinks he'll bargain like grain for meBut oh, I wish he would let me beOh, I wish he would let me be,Robin, let me be.There came a man names Bonnie JimHe looks so fine in his holiday trimThinks he'll take me off to the sea,But oh, I wish he would let me beOh, I wish he would let me be,Jim, let me be,Jim, let me be.Cousin Dick he has gold and land,He thinks all this will win my handMy hand or lips he will never seeBut oh, I wish he would let me beOh, I wish he would let me be,Dick, let me be.This young soldier boy is NedHis gun's like his own, he can shoot me dead,His eyes are blue but they don't see me,Oh, why does he let me be?Oh, why does he let me be?Let me be, Why, you let me be?(Thanks to Sophie for these
