Verse 1---sung by Laurey:
Why should a wo-man who is health-y and strong
Blub-ber like a ba-by if her man goes a-way?
A-weep-in' and a-wail-in' how he's done her wrong,
That's one thing you'll nev-er hear me say!

Nev-er gon-na think that the man I lose 
is the on-ly man a-mong men.
I'll snap my fin-gers 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 o-ver a - gain._____

Refrain sung by Laurey:
Man-y a new face will please my eye,
Man-y a new love will find   me, 
Nev-er-'ve I once looked back to sigh
o-ver the ro-mance  be - hind  me,
Man-y a new day will dawn be-fore  I  do!______

Man-y a light lad may kiss and fly,
A kiss gone by is by - gone,
Nev-er-'ve I asked an Au - gust sky, 
"Where has last Ju - ly gone?"
Nev-er-'ve I wan-dered through the rye,
Won-der-in' where has some  guy  gone,
Man-y a new day will  dawn be-fore  I  do!____

sung by Girls:
Man-y a new face will please my eye,
Man-y a new love will find   me, 
Nev-er-'ve I once looked back to sigh
o-ver the ro-mance  be - hind  me,
Man-y a new day will dawn be-fore  I  do!______

sung by Laurey:
Nev-er-'ve I chased  the hon - ey bee
who care - less - ly ca - joled  me,
Some - bod - y else just as sweet as he,
cheered me and con - soled me.
Nev-er-'ve I wept in - to my tea
o - ver the deal some-one  doled me,

sung by Girls:
Man-y  a  new day will dawn,

sung by Laurey:
Man - y a  red sun will set,
Man-y a blue moon will shine, 
be - fore I do!_______________
