《Pretty Saro》歌词

[00:00:00] Pretty Saro - Shirley Collins

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:00] I came to this country in eighteen forty nine

[00:00:07] I saw many true loves but never saw mine

[00:00:15] I viewed all around me and I am alone

[00:00:22] And me a poor soldier and far from my home

[00:00:31] It's not the long journey I'm dreading to go

[00:00:37] Nor leaving the country for the deads that I owe

[00:00:44] There is nothing that grieves me nor troubles my mind

[00:00:52] Like leaving pretty saro my darling behind

[00:01:00] I wish I was a poet and could write a fine hand

[00:01:07] I'd write my love a letter that she might understand

[00:01:14] I'd send it by the island where them waters overflow

[00:01:22] I'd think on pretty saro wherever I go

[00:01:31] Farewell my dear father likewise mother too

[00:01:37] I'm going for to ramble this country all through

[00:01:44] And when I get tired I'll sit down and cry

[00:01:52] And think on pretty saro with tears in my eye
