bert jansch – pretty saro lyrics
way down in the valley
in some lonesome place
i wish no better pastime
than to be with my love
but she says she won’t have me
so that i understand
she wants a freeholder
and i have no land
i cannot maintain her
with silver nor gold
nor buy her all the fine things
that a big house can hold
so farewell, pretty saro
i will bid you adieu
for i’m going to ramble
this whole world all through
and if i were a merchant
and could write a fine hand
i’d write my love a letter
so that she may understand
i would send it by the river
where the waters do flow
and i’d think of pretty saro
wherever i go
and if i were a white dove
and had wings and could fly
this night to my love’s window
i know i would draw nigh
in her lily white arms
all the night i would lay
and i’d watch them little windows
till the dawn of the day
