Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came upon a charming girl
And Sarah is her name
Her parents wants a husband
With riches, wealth, and fame
I have no wealth, and riches and fame
Have never come my way
'Til the night I went to visit my love
And through the keyhole say
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
My Sarah is a girl like this
A girl you seldom see
She loves me only for myself
And not for my money
And every night at eight o'clock
She puts her needle away
And standing just outside her door
And through the keyhole say
(And through the keyhole say)
[Chorus]
Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight?
Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright
Put your hat and jacket on
And tell your mother you won't be long
And I'll be waiting for you 'round the corner
[Verse 3]
One night a little after eight
I crept up to her door
I whispered, "Sarah, darling,"
As I'd often done before
"I'll give you a Sarah!" said a voice
As down I went a-flop
And her mother saying
As she kicked me all around the shop
[Chorus]
She said, "Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight?
Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright."
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
The old woman, she 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, "Is he live or dead?
My girl I'll let him wed."
So up I jumps, says "Thank you, ma'am"
And to to my girl, I said
[Chorus]
I said, "Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight?
Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright
Put your hat and jacket on
And tell your mother you won't be long
And I'll be waiting for you 'round the corner,"
Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight?
Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright
Put your hat and jacket on
And tell your mother you won't be long
And I'll be waiting for you 'round the corner
And I'll be waiting for you 'round the corner
And I'll be waiting for you 'round the corner
