[00:00.000] 作词 : Shirley Collins
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Shirley Collins
[00:02.750]I came to this country in 1849
[00:08.350]I saw many true loves but never saw mine
[00:15.010]I viewed all around me and I am alone
[00:19.360]And me a poor soldier and far from my home
[00:31.370]It's not the long journey I'm dreading to go
[00:37.570]Nor leaving the country for the deads that I owe
[00:44.250]There is nothing that grieves me nor troubles my mind
[00:52.450]Like leaving pretty Saro my darling behind
[01:00.680]I wish I was a poet and could write a fine hand
[01:07.370]I'd write my love a letter that she might understand
[01:14.320]I'd send it by the island where the waters overflow
[01:22.570]I'd think on pretty Saro wherever I go
[01:30.920]Farewell my dear father likewise mother too
[01:37.730]I'm going for to ramble this country all through
[01:45.170]And when I get tired I'll sit down and cry
[01:52.410]And think on pretty saro with tears in my eyes
