[00:29.70]These are the lyrics that Seeger sang as I recall
[00:40.59]
[00:45.90]Down in some lone valley in some lonesome place
[00:53.43]
[00:54.59]Where the wild birds do whistle and their notes do increase
[01:02.20]
[01:03.25]Farewell pretty Saro I'll bid you adieu
[01:08.04]
[01:10.82]And I'll dream of pretty Saro where ever I go
[01:18.24]
[01:21.25]My love she won't have me so I understand
[01:26.91]
[01:28.28]She wants a freeholder and I have no land
[01:32.72]
[01:34.52]I can not maintain her with silver and gold
[01:40.43]
[01:42.71]Nor buy all the fine things that a big house can hold
[01:49.04]
[01:52.07]If I were a merchant and could write a fine hand
[01:58.64]
[01:59.95]I'd write my love a letter so she'd understand
[02:05.96]
[02:07.68]But I'll wander by the river where the waters o'erflow
[02:15.00]
[02:16.19]And I'll dream of pretty Saro where ever I go
