Take Her Out Of Pity lyrics
Song information
Artist: Kingston Trio Album: Close Up
Lyrics
Bob shane/nick reynolds/john stewart
I had a sister sally, she was younger than I am. had so many sweethearts, she had to deny them But as for sister sarah, you know she hasn't many. and if you knew her heart, she'd grateful for any
Chorus: Come a lands man, a pins man, a tinker or a tailor; doctor, a lawyer, soldier, or sailor A rich man, a poor man, a fool or a witty, don't let her die an old maid but take her out of pity
We had a sister sally, she was ugly and misshapen. by the time she was sixteen years old she was taken By the time she was eighteen, a son and a daughter. sarah's almost twenty-nine, never had an offer
(Chorus)
She never would be scoldin'. she never would be jealous. her husband would have money to go to the alehouse He was there a-spendin'. she'd be home a-savin' and I leave it up to you if she is not worth havin'
(Chorus)
