Lyrics:

Down in some lone valley in a lonesome place
Where the wild birds do whistle and their notes do increase
Farewell pretty Saro, I bid you adieu
And I'll dream of pretty Saro where ever I go

My love she won't have me so I understand
She wants a freeholder who owns house and land
I can not maintain her with silver and gold
And all of the fine things a big house can hold

If I was a rich man and could write a fine hand
I'd write my love a letter that she'd understand
I wrote her by the river where the waters overflow
And I'll dream of pretty Saro where ever I go
