Judy Collins (born Judith Marjorie Collins on May 1, 1939, in Seattle, Washington) is an American singer and songwriter known for the eclectic range of material she records (which has included folk, show tunes, pop, and rock and roll, as well as and standards) and for her social activism. Beginning in 1959, she was drawn to the music of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, and the traditional songs of the folk revival of the early 1960s. In 1968 she was awarded a Grammy for "Both Sides Now".

Down in some lone valley in a lonesome place A Where the wild birds all whistle and their notes do increase D Farewell Pretty Saro, I must bid you adieu AD And I'll dream of Pretty Saro wherever I go
[Verse 2]
My love she won't have me and I understand A She wants a rich merchant and I have no land D I cannot maintain her, I've no silver and gold AD Can't give her the nice things that a big house will hold
[Verse 3]
But if I were a merchant and I could write a fine hand A And I'd write my love a letter that she'd understand D I'd write it by the river where the waters o'erflow AD And I'll dream of Pretty Saro wherever I go
