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 Its not this long journey Im adreading 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 Id write a fine hand Id write my love a letter that shed 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
