Pretty Saro

	  		


G                       Am 
Down in some lone valley  
                      G 
In a sad lonesome place  
                       D 
Where the wild birds do all  

Their notes to increase  


                G 
Farewell pretty Saro  
               D 
I bid you Adieu  
                       Am 
But I dream of pretty Saro  
            G 
Wherever I go  


G                           Am 
Well my love she won't have me  
           G 
So I understand  
                 Am 
She wants a freeholder  
                       D 
Who owns a house and land  


               Am 
I cannot maintain her  
                  G 
With silver and gold  
                    D 
And all of the fine things  
                     G 
That a big house can hold  


          Am 
If I was a poet  
                          G 
And could write a fine hand  
                    D 
I'd write my love a letter  

That she'd understand  


                    Am 
And write it by the river  
                      G 
Where the waters overflow  
                       D 
But I dream of pretty Saro  
           D 
Wherever I go                 G
