Pretty Saro - Shirley Collins[00:00:00]
Written by:Traditional [00:00:00]
I came to this country in eighteen forty nine[00:00:00]
I saw many true loves but never saw mine[00:00:07]
I viewed all around me and I am alone[00:00:15]
And me a poor soldier and far from my home[00:00:22]
It's not the long journey I'm dreading to go[00:00:31]
Nor leaving the country for the deads that I owe[00:00:37]
There is nothing that grieves me nor troubles my mind[00:00:44]
Like leaving pretty saro my darling behind[00:00:52]
I wish I was a poet and could write a fine hand[00:01:00]
I'd write my love a letter that she might understand[00:01:07]
I'd send it by the island where them waters overflow[00:01:14]
I'd think on pretty saro wherever I go[00:01:22]
Farewell my dear father likewise mother too[00:01:31]
I'm going for to ramble this country all through[00:01:37]
And when I get tired I'll sit down and cry[00:01:44]
And think on pretty saro with tears in my eye[00:01:52]
