Pretty Saro Lyrics

[00:00.00]	Pretty Saro - Shirley Collins
[00:01.77]	Written by：Davy Graham
[00:03.54]	I came to this country in eighteen forty nine
[00:11.70]	I saw many true loves but never saw mine
[00:21.09]	I viewed all around me and I am alone
[00:30.90]	And me a poor soldier and far from my home
[00:43.93]	It's not the long journey I'm dreading to go
[00:52.80]	Nor leaving the country for the deads that I owe
[01:03.30]	There is nothing that grieves me nor troubles my mind
[01:13.87]	Like leaving pretty saro my darling behind
[01:32.14]	I wish I was a poet and could write a fine hand
[01:41.04]	I'd write my love a letter that she might understand
[01:52.83]	I'd send it by the island where them waters overflow
[02:04.13]	I'd think on pretty saro wherever I go
[03:20.64]	Farewell my dear father likewise mother too
[03:29.73]	I'm going for to ramble this country all through
[03:40.61]	And when I get tired I'll sit down and cry
[03:52.35]	And think on pretty saro with tears in my eye
