Tom: G
G
Am
Down in some lone valley
G
In a sad lonesome place
D
Where the wild birds do all
Their notes to increase
G
Farewell pretty Saro
D
I bid you Adieu
Am
But I dream of pretty Saro
G
Wherever I go
G
Am
Well my love she won't have me
G
So I understand
Am
She wants a freeholder
D
Who owns a house and land
Am
I cannot maintain her
G
With silver and gold
D
And all of the fine things
G
That a big house can hold
Am
If I was a poet
G
And could write a fine hand
D
I'd write my love a letter
That she'd understand
Am
And write it by the river
G
Where the waters overflow
D
But I dream of pretty Saro
