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
No she hasn't many
And if you knew her heart
She'd be grateful for any
Come a landsman, a pinsman
A tinker or a tailor
Doctor, a lawyer
A soldier or a 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
Come a landsman, a pinsman
A tinker or a tailor
Doctor, a lawyer
A soldier or a 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
She never would be scolding
She never would be jealous
Her husband would have money
To go to the alehouse
He was there spending
She'd be home a-saving
And I leave it up to you
If she is not worth having
Come a landsman, a pinsman
A tinker or a tailor
Doctor, a lawyer
A soldier or a 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
Don't let her die an old maid
But take her out of pity
