[Verse 1]
G Am C D When I first come to this country in eighteen and forty-nine G Am C D I saw many fair lovers but I never saw mine G Am C D I viewed it all around me, saw I was quite alone G Am C D And me a poor stranger and a long way from home.
[Verse 2]
G Am C D Well, my true love she won't have me and it's this I understand G Am C D For she wants some free holder and I have no land G Am C D I couldn't maintain her on silver and gold G Am C D But all of the other fine things that my love's house could hold.
[Verse 3]
G Am C D Fare thee well to ol' Mother, fare thee well to my Father, too G Am C D I'm going for to ramble this wide world all through G Am C D And when I get weary, I'll sit down and cry G Am C D And think of my Saro, pretty Saro, my bride.
[Verse 4]
G Am C D Well, I wished I was a turtledove, had wings and could fly G Am C D Far away to my lover's lodgings, tonight I'd draw nigh G Am C D And there in her lily-white arms I'd lay there all night G Am C D And watch through them little winders for the dawning of light.
