Pretty Saro

PRETTY SARO

When I came to this country in 1845 and I felt myself lucky for to be alive
I looked all around me and none could I see
that were sweeter or fairer than pretty Saro to me

Pretty Saro Pretty Saro likewise my Mother too
You have caused me to ramble this country all through
and when I get lonesome I'll sit down and weep
and I think of pretty Saro wherever I sleep

Now if I was a poet and could write a fine hand
I would send my love a letter she'd long understand
I'd send it by the water where the Islands overflow
And I think of pretty Saro wherever I go
