Pretty Saro

Oh I left my pretty Saro and I quit my home
Started off to ramble htis country alone
When I get tired I lay down and weep
Think of my pretty Saro wherever I sleep
Oh Saro, Saro, tell me your mind
Do you think me unworthy, do you think me unkind
When our life is over you surely will see
I treated you as kindly as you treated me
It’s not this long journey I’m a-dreading to go
The country I come from or the debts that I owe
Theres one thing that greives me and it troubles my mind
Leaving my darling way back here behind
Oh Saro, Saro, tell me your mind
Do you think me unworthy, do you think me unkind
When our life is over you surely will see
I treated you as kindly as you treated me
If I were a merchant I’d write a fine hand
I’d write my love a letter that she’d understand
Down by the river where the water overflows
I think of my pretty Saro wherever I go
Oh Saro, Saro, tell me your mind
Do you think me unworthy, do you think me unkind
When our life is over you surely will see
I treated you as kindly as you treated me
