Somewhere to the south of New York City
Lies the friendly state of Tennessee
Down in Nashville town I met a pretty
Who made a pretty big fool out of me
ESTRIBILLO:
And they call her Sally, Sally G
Why d'you want to do the things you do to me
You're my Sally, Sally G
Took the part that was the heart of me
Sally G
The night life took me down to Printer's Alley
Where Sally sang a song behind the bar
I ran my eyes across her as she sang a tangled mime
I used to love to hear her sweet guitar
(ESTRIBILLO)
Me and Sally took up
Things began to look up
Me and her were going strong
Then she started lyin'
I could see our love was dyin'
I heard a voice say move along
Move along....
Well, now I'm on my own again, I wonder
If she ever really understood
I never thought to ask her what the letter G stood for
But I know for sure it wasn't good
