《Pretty Saro》歌词

[00:00:00] Pretty Saro (漂亮的萨罗) - Shirley Collins/Dave Braham

[00:00:03] I came to this country in eighteen-forty-nine

[00:00:12] I saw many true loves but never saw mine

[00:00:21] I viewed all around me and I am alone

[00:00:31] And me a poor soldier and far from my home

[00:00:44] It's not the long journey I'm dreading to go

[00:00:52] Nor leaving the country for the deads that I owe

[00:01:03] There is nothing that grieves me nor troubles my mind

[00:01:14] Like leaving pretty saro my darling behind

[00:01:32] I wish I was a poet and could write a fine hand

[00:01:41] I'd write my love a letter that she can't understand

[00:01:52] I'd send it by the island where them waters overflow

[00:02:04] I'd think on pretty saro wherever I know

[00:03:20] Farewell my dear mother likewise father too

[00:03:29] I'm going for to ramble this country all through

[00:03:40] And when I get tired I'll sit down and cry

[00:03:52] And think on pretty saro with tears in my eye
