^AmI came upon a charming girl and ^GSarah is her name ^EmHer parents want a husband with r^Amiches, wealth and fame ^AI have no wealth but riches and fame, has ^Gnever come my way ^Am'til the night I went to visit my love and ^Emthrough the keyhole ^Amsay:

^AmSarah, Sarah won’t ^Gyou come out tonight ^EmSarah, Sarah the ^Ammoon is shining bright ^APut your hat and jacket on, ^Gtell your mother you won’t be long ^EmAnd I’ll be waiting for you round the ^Amcorner!

^AmMy Sarah is the girl like this, a ^Ggirl you seldom see ^EmShe loves me only for myself and ^Amnot for my money ^AEvery night at eight o’clock, she ^Gputs the needle away ^AmAnd standing just outside her door and ^Emthrough the keyhole ^Amsay:

^AmSarah, Sarah won’t ^Gyou come out tonight ^EmSarah, Sarah the ^Ammoon is shining bright ^APut your hat and jacket on, ^Gtell your mother you won’t be long ^EmAnd I’ll be waiting for you round the ^Amcorner!

^AmOne night a little after eight, I ^Gcrept up to her door ^EmAnd whispered, “Sarah, darling” as I ^Amoften done before NC “I’ll give you Sarah” said a voice, as down I went to flop! NC And her Mother sang as she kicked me all around the shop!

Sarah, ^AmSarah won’t ^Gyou come out tonight ^EmSarah, Sarah the ^Ammoon is shining bright ^APut your hat and jacket on, ^Gtell your mother you won’t be long ^EmAnd I’ll be waiting for you round the ^Amcorner!

^AmThe old woman thought she killed me and I ^Glet her think so too ^EmAs I lay there on the floor I ^Amscarce knew what to do ^AAt last she said ” alive or dead? My ^Ggirl I’ll let him wed.” ^AmAnd up I jumps said “Thank you, Ma’am” and ^Emto my girl I ^Amsaid:

^AmSarah, Sarah won’t ^Gyou come out tonight ^EmSarah, Sarah the ^Ammoon is shining bright ^APut your hat and jacket on, ^Gtell your mother you won’t be long ^EmAnd I’ll be waiting for you round the ^Amcorner!
