Take Her Out Of Pity

Take Her out of Pity - The Kingston Trio

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 you know she hasn't many

And if you knew her heart she'd grateful for any

Come a lands man a pins man a tinker or a tailor;

Doctor a lawyer soldier or 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 lands man a pins man a tinker or a tailor;

Doctor a lawyer soldier or 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 scoldin' She never would be jealous

Her husband would have money to go to the alehouse

He was there a-spendin' She'd be home a-savin'

And I leave it up to you if she is not worth havin'

Come a lands man a pins man a tinker or a tailor;

Doctor a lawyer soldier or 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
