Sally Wheatley

Sally Wheatley

From the album Celebration.
Now I'm most depressed and sad
Where I once was blithe and glad
I could trip about the town both trim and neatly
I was happy both night and morn
But from all such joys I'm shorn
Since I fell so deep in love with Sally Wheatley

Chorus:

And it's oh dear me
What am I gonna dae
Sally stole away my heart completely
And I'll never get it back
For she gans with Mr. Black
And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley

Now I never saw such a lass
And I know she likes her glass
She could toss a pot of whiskey over neatly
Now it's right to take a drop
When you know just when to stop
That was just the very way with Sally Wheatley

(Chorus)

Oh I felt i didn't know
The first time I Sally saw
In the threesome reel she hopped about so neatly
Well I might have had a chance
If I'd asked her out to dance
But I was over-shy to speak to Sally Wheatley

(Chorus)

Now he must have made it right
When he took her home that night
Because after work dressed up he goes to see her nightly
There's great danger in delay
Or I wouldn't be sad today
If I had my heart 't would break for Sally Wheatley

(Chorus)

And it's oh dear me
What am I gonna dae
Sally stole away my heart completely
And I'll never get it back
For she gans with Mr. Black
And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley
And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley
