Down a little dusty road
And out across the meadow
On past the creek
and a bunch of tall oak trees
It was in the month of June,
on a Sunday afternoon
My darling Sarah
brought her love to me
She brought love, sweet love
that made me happy
She brought love that made
me feel like
She said, I'll do my best to
always pass the test
And bring you love as long as I can
While working in the mines
on a cold day in December
A rafter broke
and the walls came tumbling down
For seven days and nights
without a drink or bite
I lived a life of hell un derground
At the point of death
I left while listening to
Lurk again
I thought of home
and my dear old Mawn and Pawn
But then the blackface crew,
they finally drove through
And my darling Sarah
was the first I saw
And she brought love, sweet love
that made me happy
She brought me love
that made me feel like a man
She said, I'll do my best and
always pass the test
And bring you love as long
as I can
It was early in the spring
She came down with a fever
She looked at me and said
Please understand
Although I'm going away
There'll be another day
She closed her eyes
While holding to my hand
Down a little dusty road,
out across the meadow
On past the creek
to a bunch of tall low trees
We gently lay to rest,
one I love the best
Where my darling Sarah
brought her love to me
She brought love, sweet love
to make me happy
