Saro (traditional) Lyrics
I came to this country
18 and 49
I thought myself lucky
for to be alive
I looked all around me
no one could I see
that I could compare with
my pretty Saree
I wish I was a poet
could write in find hand
would write my love a letter
one she'd long understand
I'd send it by the water
where the islands overflow
and I'd think of pretty Saro wherever I go
'tis not this long journey that grieves me for to go
nor the country that I'm leaving
nor the debts that I owe
there's one thing that grieves me and bears on my mind
that's leaving my darling pretty Saro behind
18 and 49

I'd send it by the water
where the islands overflow
and I'd think of pretty Saro wherever I go
nor the country that I'm leaving
nor the debts that I owe
there's one thing that grieves me and bears on my mind
that's leaving my darling pretty Saro behind
