Sally Wheatley
(Trad)
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 night and morn'
But from all such joys I'm shorn
Since I fell so deep in love with Sally Wheatley

And it's oh dear me what am I gonna dae
Sally stole away me heart completely
And I'll never get it back, for she gans with mister 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

And it's oh dear me what am I gonna dae
Sally stole away me heart completely
And I'll never get it back, for she gans with mister Black
And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley

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

And it's oh dear me what am I gonna dae
Sally stole away me heart completely
And I'll never get it back, for she gans with mister Black
And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley

Now he must have made it right
When he took her home that night
'Cause 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 me heart t'would break for Sally Wheatley

And it's oh dear me what am I gonna dae
Sally stole away me heart completely
And I'll never get it back, for she gans with mister Black
And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley

And it's oh dear me what am I gonna dae
Sally stole away me heart completely
And I'll never get it back, for she gans with mister Black
And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley
And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley
