I came upon a charming girl and Sarah is her name, Her parents want a husband with riches, wealth, and fame; I haven't no wealth, but riches and fame have never come my way, Till the night I went to visit my love and through the keyhole said: Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight? Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright; Put your hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won't be long, And I'll be waiting for you 'round the corner. My Sarah is a girl like this, a girl you seldom see, She loves me only for myself and not for my money; Every night at eight o'clock she puts the needle away, And standing just outside her door and through the keyhole say: Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight? Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright; Put your hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won't be long, And I'll be waiting for you 'round the corner. One night a little after eight I crept up to her door, I whispered, "Sarah, darling," as I often done before; [spoken:] I'll give you Sarah! said a voice, as down I went a-flop, And her mamma saying as she kicked me all around the shop: Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight? Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright; Put your hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won't be long, And I'll be waiting for you 'round the corner. The old woman thought she'd killed me, and I let her think so, too, As I lay there on the floor, I scarce knew what to do; At last she said, "He's alive or dead? My girl I'll let him wed." Then up I jumps, says, "Thank you ma'am," and to my girl I said: Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight? Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright; Put your hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won't be long, And I'll be waiting for you 'round the corner. ----- **No Copyright Infringement Intended.** -----
