Pretty Saro |
| When I first came to this country in 1849 |
| I saw many fair lovers but I did not see mine |
| I viewed the world 'round me saw I was quite alone |
| And me a poor stranger and a long way from home |
| Oh my true love she don’t want me and it’s this I understand |
| She wants a freeholder and I have no land |
| But I could maintain her on silver and gold |
| And all of the other things that my love’s house could hold |
| Oh I wish I was a little dove, had wings and could fly |
| Straight to my love’s bosom this night I’d draw nigh |
| And in her little small arms all night I would lay |
| And think of pretty Saro till the dawning of day |
| It’s fair thee well to old mother and fare thee well to father too |
| I’m going for to ramble this wide world all through |
| And when I get weary I’ll sit down and cry |
| And think of my Saro pretty Saro my bride |
