SANDRA OF ST. MURA (SUHMURAN SANTRA) - Harri Marstio (Time: 6/8) [Verse 1]

One ^Emnight there was dancing at St. Mura An accordion mournfully ^B7played

And the girls in their frocks came from near and far,

In the moonlight they joyfully ^Emswayed [Chorus 1] I ^Amasked a fair maid: "May I ^Emwalk by your side - See you ^B7home to St. Mura?" and ^Emthus she replied: "It's ^Amsuch a long way, it's ^Emsuch a long way From ^B7here to St. Mu^Emra"

[Verse 2]

So ^Emoff went sweet Sandra into the night And I found my lonely way ^B7home

The next time I planned for a different plight,

Bought a bicycle on which to ^Emroam [Chorus 2] But ^AmSandra, sweet Sandra, she ^Emnever came dancing, Stayed ^B7home with her mother, at ^Emothers ne'er glancing It's ^Amsuch a long way, it's ^Emsuch a long way From ^B7here to St. Mu^Emra

[Verse 3]

In^Emstead I met Mandy who lives nearby - The maid with the long golden ^B7hair

When I asked her: "Oh, please may I walk by your side?"

She said, "I live just over ^Emthere" [Chorus 3] So we ^Amwent side by side on my ^Embike in the moonlight, And ^B7that was the end of my ^Emfreedom that fine night It's ^Amsuch a long way, it's ^Emsuch a long way From ^B7here to St. Mu^Emra

[Verse 4]

So ^Emnow I am wedded to Mandy, I rue Our children I rock on my ^B7knee

And to Sandra my thoughts keep returning anew,

And often I sigh: "Woe is ^Emme!" [Chorus 4] For ^Amwhat was I thinking of? I ^Emshould have known better "Tis ^B7all the bike's fault, I should ^Emnever have let her!" It's ^Amsuch a long way, it's ^Emsuch a long way From ^B7here to St. Mu^Emra It's ^Amsuch a long way, it's ^Emsuch a long way From ^B7here to St. Mu^Emra
