about

Traditional
Roud Folk Song Index #417
Cecil Sharp 1917

Pretty Saro is our unique arrangement of a British Isles ballad that can be traced to the 18th century.

lyrics

When I first came to this country in 1849
I saw many fair lovers but I never saw mine
I viewed all around me, I was quite alone
And me a poor stranger and a long way from home.

Oh my true love she won’t have me and this I understand
She wants a freeholder and I've got no land
But I could maintain her on silver and gold
And as many of the fine things that my love’s house could hold.

Oh, I wish I was a poet, could write some fine hand.
I would write my love a letter that she might understand.
I'd send it by the waters where the islands overflow.
And I'd think of my darling wherever she'd go.

Fair thee well to old father. Fare thee well to mother too.
I’m going for to ramble this wide world all through.
And when I get weary I’ll sit and shed a tear
And think of pretty Saro my darling my dear.

Oh I wish I was a turtle dove, had wings and could fly
Into my love’s bosom this night I’d draw nigh
And in her lily-white arms all night I would lay
And think of pretty Saro till the dawning of day.

Eulalie (pronounce it "YOU-la-lee")
True blue. Guaranteed 100% irony-free.

Hauntingly stark, sweetly sentimental, or just plain fun,
these old songs tell the stories of people's lives.
Ron & Donna treat these treasures with the love and respect of honest, straightforward arrangements inspired by the old masters of parlor, dance hall, and backwoods. ... more
