- "PRETTY SARO" (traditional folk song)
- 2011 A little proud parenting going on here. My daughter and I saw the movie "Songcatcher" together and she learned this song that was in it. She's 12. Good job Celeste!!
- When I first came to this country in 1849
- I saw many pairs of lovers but I never saw mine
- I felt it all around me, saw that I was quite alone
- And me a poor stranger and a long way from home
- Fare thee well to my mother, fare thee well to my father too
- I'm alone and for to ramble this wide world all through
- And I get weary, I will sit down and cry
- Think of my Saro, pretty Saro, my bride
- While I wished I was a turtle dove
- Had wings and could fly
- Far away to my lover's lodgings
- Till night I draw nigh
- There in her lily-white arms I'd lay there all night
- And watch through them little winders
- For the dawning of day
