Sarah
Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers (Traditional)
I [Cm] came upon a charming girl and [Bb] Sarah is her name,
Her [Bb] parents wants a husband with [Cm] riches, wealth and fame,
I [Cm] have no wealth but riches and fame, has [Bb] never come my way
til the [Cm] night I went to visit my love and [Bb] through the keyhole [Cm] say...
Chorus
[Cm] Sarah, Sarah won't [Bb] you come out tonight,
[Bb] Sarah, Sarah the [Cm] moon is shining bright,
[Cm] Put you hat and jacket on, tell your mother you [Bb] won't be long,
And [Cm] I'll be waiting for you [Bb] round the [Cm] corner!
My [Cm] Sarah is the girl like this, a [Bb] girl you seldom see
She [Bb] loves me only for myself and [Cm] not for my money
[Cm] Every night at eight o'clock, she [Bb] puts the needle away
And [Cm] standing just outside her door and [Bb] through the keyhole [Cm] say...
Chorus
[Cm] Sarah, Sarah won't [Bb] you come out tonight,
[Bb] Sarah, Sarah the [Cm] moon is shining bright,
[Cm] Put you hat and jacket on, tell your mother you [Bb] won't be long,
And [Cm] I'll be waiting for you [Bb] round the [Cm] corner!
One [Cm] night a little after eight, I [Bb] crept up to her door
and [Bb] whispered, “Sarah, darling” as [Cm] I often done before
“I'll [Cm] give you Sarah” said a voice, as [Bb] down I went to flop!
And [Cm] her Mother sang as she kicked me [Bb] all around the [Cm] shop!
Chorus
[Cm] Sarah, Sarah won't [Bb] you come out tonight,
[Bb] Sarah, Sarah the [Cm] moon is shining bright,
[Cm] Put you hat and jacket on, tell your mother you [Bb] won't be long,
And [Cm] I'll be waiting for you [Bb] round the [Cm] corner!
The [Cm] old woman thought she killed me and I [Bb] let her think so too
As I [Bb] lay there on the floor I [Cm] scarce knew what to do
At [Cm] last she said ” alive or dead? My [Bb] girl I'll let him wed.”
And [Cm] up I jumps said “Thank you, Ma'am” and [Bb] to my girl I [Cm] said...
Chorus
[Cm] Sarah, Sarah won't [Bb] you come out tonight,
[Bb] Sarah, Sarah the [Cm] moon is shining bright,
[Cm] Put you hat and jacket on, tell your mother you [Bb] won't be long,
And [Cm] I'll be waiting for you [Bb] round the [Cm] corner!
#The tune is acapella, but if you wanted chords, you could use these.
