Judy Collins - Pretty Saro
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
Down in some lone valley in a lonesome place
Where the wild birds all whistle and their notes do inAcrease
Farewell Pretty DSaro, I must bid you adieu
And I'll dream of Pretty ASaro wherDever I go
[Verse 2]
My love she won't have me and I understand
She wants a rich merchant and I have no Aland
I cannot mainDtain her, I've no silver and gold
Can't give her the nice Athings that a big house will Dhold
[Verse 3]
But if I were a merchant and I could write a fine hand
And I'd write my love a letter that she'd underAstand
I'd write it by the Driver where the waters o'erflow
And I'll dream of Pretty ASaro wherDever I go

Judy Collins - Pretty Saro

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Down in some lone valley in a lonesome place

Where the wild birds all whistle and their notes do increase

Farewell Pretty Saro, I must bid you adieu

A D

And I'll dream of Pretty Saro wherever I go

[Verse 2]

My love she won't have me and I understand

She wants a rich merchant and I have no land

I cannot maintain her, I've no silver and gold

A D

Can't give her the nice things that a big house will hold

[Verse 3]

But if I were a merchant and I could write a fine hand

And I'd write my love a letter that she'd understand

I'd write it by the river where the waters o'erflow

A D

And I'll dream of Pretty Saro wherever I go
