Pretty Penny Lyrics

Oh Susanna Pretty Penny

Girl go down
Milk white and berry brown
Tell me who will be one, two or three
Ribbons fair, wrapped round raven hair
Smile until you find who the winner be

But mother said "no
Don't let your daughter go
Where men's ways are rough and their wills are weak"
But soon she'll see how happy she will be
When I bring a pretty penny back home with me

Girl go down
Milk white and berry brown
A sawbuck to bet before I go
Ribbons fair, wrapped round raven hair
Surely you will tell me win, place or show

But mother said "no
Don't let your father go
Where men's ways are rough and their wills are weak"
But soon she'll see how happy she will be
When I bring a pretty penny back home with me
