Pretty Saro Lyrics - Judy Collins

Down in some lone valley in a lonesome place 

Where the wild birds all whistle and their notes do increase 

Farewell Pretty Saro I must bid you adieu 

And I'll dream of Pretty Saro wherever I go 

My love she won't have me and I understand 

She wants a rich merchant and I have no land 

I cannot maintain her, I've no silver and gold 

Can't give her the nice things that a big house will hold 

But if I were a merchant and I could write a fine hand 

And I'd write my love a letter that she'd understand 

I'd write it by the river where the waters o'erflow 

And I'll dream of Pretty Saro wherever I go
